Faculty Mentoring<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

The goal of the Faculty Mentoring Program is to support and retain assistant professors as they progress towards tenure. The Faculty Mentoring Program at UWM began in 1983 through the dedicated work of a group of faculty and administrators. The initial goal of the program was to be a resource for women faculty as they progressed towards tenure. Later, the program was expanded to include all untenured faculty members who expressed the desire to have a mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program is not a substitute for guidance provided by the academic department of the faculty member as outlined in Faculty Policies and Procedures Section 4.05. The purpose of the program is to provide additional information and to be a resource for the faculty member to complement the guidance provided by the department. The Faculty Mentoring Program includes an array of potential mentoring opportunities including one-on-one mentoring, group mentoring, and peer support opportunities. Events sponsored by the program include orientation for new faculty, interactive workshop on tenure process, and other informational sessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
