Are you a U-M College of Engineering faculty or staff member?
Want to learn about some best practices for engaging students through mentoring?

Want to enjoy a delicious Zingerman’s Deli lunch while having a thoughtful discussion with your colleagues?
IF YES, THEN THIS SEMINAR IS FOR YOU!

In this seminar, attendees will learn about how to develop and cultivate mentoring relationships with engineering undergraduates. Specifically, faculty members, Joi Mondisa (IOE) and Chinedum Okuwdire (ME) will discuss how they developed and are implementing discipline-based engineering student-faculty mentoring programs in their respective departments. These programs were initiated to address the needs of students, specifically minoritized populations (i.e., African American, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Natives). The workshop will feature details about: the development of discipline-based engineering student-faculty mentoring programs, participants’ program experiences, and mentoring elements and findings developed from the research project that might apply broadly to others groups.
