Education Day Itinerary
9 – 11 a.m. | Rethinking Mentoring to Cultivate a Mentoring Network
Graduate Students, Post-Doctoral Trainees, and Junior Faculty | DSIT 7200
This workshop draws on literature advocating for movement away from the more traditional 1:1 academic mentorship model to the recognition of the need for trainees to develop a mentoring network. Through this session, attendees will learn to discern various types of mentoring needs and begin creation of their own personal Mentor Map. Through this mapping process, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on those areas where they may need more mentoring/professional development, recognize a broader network of mentors that they may already have available to them, and to evaluate what they may be asking of each of the people they identified as mentors. Further, attendees will be encouraged to think much more broadly than the traditional “guru mentor,” to recognize colleagues, friends, and families who provide substantive feedback, sponsorship, access to opportunities, accountability, professional development, emotional support, intellectual community, a safe space, and who serve as role models. The workshop will have didactic and interactive elements.
