The workshop begins at 12:15 p.m. on Sept. 27 in Belk Pavilion Room 208.
Join colleagues for this workshop with guest speaker Brad Johnson. This practical workshop provides evidence-based rules of engagement for developing high-impact mentoring relationships with undergraduates in a range of contexts, from teaching and learning to advising and research.
Topics include the interpersonal qualities and behavior strategies of highly-effective “Master” mentors, techniques for forming effective mentorships, and key ethical obligations and considerations. There will be a strong focus on using mentorships to leverage inclusion and diversity with particular focus on gender and race. Cultural humility and egalitarian values in the context of mentoring relationships will also be emphasized. Participants will discuss key obstacles to mentoring and leave with several strategies for streamlining mentoring activities without reducing their efficacy.
