Optimizing Mentoring Workshops for Graduate Faculty

Optimizing Mentoring Workshops

Graduate faculty are invited to this year’s Optimizing Mentoring Workshops — a chance to connect with colleagues and engage with one of the most rewarding parts of our work: quality mentoring of graduate students within changing landscapes.

Sessions are led by UNC graduate faculty trained through the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Research Experiences. Practical strategies and real-world examples tailored to our graduate programs will be offered in an interactive workshop format.

All three workshops are required for Graduate Faculty (GF) and Doctoral Research Endorsement (DRE) applications, but they may be completed in any order. Applications cannot move forward to the Graduate Council until all three workshops are completed, so faculty are encouraged to register early. This includes faculty who do not need to reapply until a future academic year.

Upcoming Sessions

Workshop 1 — Wednesday, September 16, 1–2:15 p.m.
Campus Commons 2300
On-campus faculty should plan to attend in person; a Zoom link will be sent to off-campus faculty.

Workshop 2 — Wednesday, October 21, 1–2:15 p.m.
Hybrid — UC Aspen Suites

Workshop 3 — Wednesday, November 18, 1–2:15 p.m.

More dates will be added in the future, providing additional opportunities to complete the workshops.
