SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MORE Committee Workshop (FACULTY): Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start
DESCRIPTION:Developed by the MORE Committee\, this workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor 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. Among Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans\, 83 percent find those plans useful. Registration and attendance at the same workshop are required of both the faculty and the student. Separate registration for students is available at: https://myumi.ch/6167J.

DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance on cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.
