We are growing our faculty mentorship program and we need experienced faculty to help support new faculty. Serving as a faculty mentor can be a rewarding experience by providing valuable advice and support to help new faculty successfully acclimate to life at the University of Hartford. Additionally, developing others is a great opportunity for university service.
Mentor expectations:
- Meet faculty at the new faculty lunch on Aug. 19 if possible
- Meet with new faculty member at least 2x in the fall and 2x in the spring
- Be accessible and responsive
- Maintain confidentiality
- Provide advice and guidance
- Be a role-model
- Help faculty navigate UHart
Timeline:
- New faculty fill out information sheet and interest form: mid-July
- Faculty matched with mentors based on interest and need: late-July / early-August
- Introductions at Aug. 19 new faculty orientation
