Mentoring Workshop for Faculty
We are pleased to invite faculty to participate in a mentoring workshop using the evidence-based CIMER Entering Mentoring curriculum. This interactive, in-person program is designed to strengthen mentoring skills and enhance the quality of mentoring relationships across all career stages.
Developed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER), the Entering Mentoring curriculum has been shown to improve mentoring knowledge, skills, and behaviors. The workshop is ideal for faculty who mentor students, trainees, or junior faculty—and is especially encouraged for faculty involved in training grants.
