Some of the Winter 2024 cohort of the College of Graduate Mentorship mentors and mentees with Dean Josephine Nalbantoglu at the end-of-year reception in April 2024.
Mentorship pairings between a 成人VR视频 faculty member and an upper year PhD candidate or postdoc are a core component of the College of Graduate Mentorship programming. In at least two meetings per semester, the mentorship pairs will discuss the mentee鈥檚 career goals, their progress in preparing for the academic job search, and skills and strategies for thriving as an applicant and early career professor. Cross-disciplinary mentorship pairings for the College of Graduate Mentorship's second year will begin in听September 2024.听听
The period of transition between the end of PhD studies and entrance into the academic job market can be difficult for many graduates who may feel isolated from their peers and uncertain about their future. The mentorship of an experienced faculty member can support students in navigating this transition by lending a listening ear and providing encouragement, skills development, and fresh perspectives.听
The mentorship relationship includes many benefits for both mentors and mentees. Mentees benefit from the unique perspectives, experiences, guidance, and support of their mentors. Mentors have the chance to create cross-disciplinary connections with promising new researchers and hone their mentorship and supervision skills. Their contributions are also recognized through membership in the College of Graduate Mentorship.
