We know that working with graduate students can be one of the most satisfying aspects of being at a research university. With that in mind, we have developed a session to introduce you to Rackham’s resources for supporting your efforts to train and mentor your students.This event provides an opportunity to discuss with fellow assistant professors what it means to exemplify the values, privileges and responsibilities of the Rackham graduate faculty. Additionally, MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence), a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring, will facilitate a workshop on mentoring during the event.MORE’s workshop is designed to raise awareness of the research on best practices in mentoring and tools that can facilitate mentoring relationships. You will learn from experienced colleagues about effective mentoring, understand how a written mentoring plan can help create a two-way conversation between mentor and mentee, and exchange ideas about handling challenging mentoring situations.
