Audience members will walk away with new resources and insights to bring to their work as graduate students, faculty, and academic leaders. Culturally Responsive Mentorship: Evidence-Based Approach to Promoting Graduate Student Success<https://gspd.gosignmeup.com/public/Course/browse?courseid=3925> September 8, 2022, 3:00pm to 4:15pm STEW 306 Open to faculty and postdocs only In this workshop designed for academic leaders and faculty, Dr. Melissa McDaniels from the Center for the Improvement of Effective Mentorship will introduce research and practices in culturally responsive mentorship.

Time will be allocated for questions, answers, and resources.

Participants will be led through a series of exercises to identify their own professional development priorities and intentionally link those priorities to individuals that can contribute to their professional development in those areas. Time will be given to conversations about how to engage current and future mentors in ways that are mutually beneficial and sustainable. Mentoring Dialogs - Seeking Mentors<https://gspd.gosignmeup.com/public/Course/browse?courseid=3908> September 13, 2022, 11:00am to 12:00pm Young Hall, Room B-83 Join Dean Linda Mason and Associate Dean Melanie Morgan for an unstructured discussion on mentoring. Discussions are loosely based on the curriculum developed by the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) and include the following topics this semester: maintaining effective communication with your mentor, aligning expectations in your mentoring relationship, and do you need multiple mentors? Each discussion will feature one of these topics. The discussions are intended to help graduate students strengthen their mentoring relationships with their major professors and other mentors in their academic careers. Thank you!
