Mentoring
CEM seeks to ensure that faculty members, especially faculty members at the assistant professor level, actively develop and follow a mentoring plan.
The plan should include attention to teaching, graduate supervision, research and service obligations as appropriate to the position, and should be predicated on being helpful rather than authoritarian.
The mentoring plan may include participation by several members of the academic department/research center, as well as external faculty as appropriate. However, we do request that each faculty member at the assistant professor level identify one specific individual to serve as a named mentor. The named mentor should be someone at the associate professor level or higher. It is convenient, although not required, that the named mentor be someone in the same unit.
When the named mentor is identified, please sign a mentoring partnership agreement, and work together to complete an individual development plan (IDP). Those documents are for the mentor/mentee’s use only, and need not be shared. They
are intended to help guide/frame the mentorship relationship, and can be modified
as necessary. However, we do ask that mentees let the dean or director’s office know
who is serving as their named mentor.
