Inclusive & Culturally Aware Mentoring (hosted by Cornell University)
In this session, participants are introduced to various mentoring models to support faculty throughout their career stages. The workshop focuses on inclusive and culturally- affirming practices. Participants fill out a presurvey which asks them about their experiences as mentors and mentees and are offered an opportunity to share their views and expectations around faculty mentoring. Participants work through scenarios that provide them with tools to engage in effective mentoring. (More details coming soon.)
