Developed by the MORE Committee, this workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between students and faculty mentors by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles, and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs, goals, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Of Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans, 83 percent report those plans to be useful. Registration is required of both the faculty and the student. Separate registration for students is available at: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/13079.
