Mid-Career Mentoring Communities
Mid-Career Mentoring Communities enable members to work toward what is best for each other and have conversations about their personal and professional lives that do not normally take place among colleagues. MMCs are an opportunity to explore your hopes aspirations, and purposes and reflect on common problems, challenges, or concerns. The ultimate goal of an MMC is to reinvigorate ourselves, our work, and by extension the academy.
Convene Your Own Peer Mentoring Group
If you would like to regularly gather with colleagues for mutual support and to discuss shared interests, challenges, or circumstances, the CTLS will support your group. Funds are available to support periodic lunches or refreshments. Reach out to the CTLS director, Julie Sievers, for more information.
Writing & Research Groups
Research & Creative Work Support Groups – online | Support groups of 3-4 people agree to check-in regularly (usually weekly or bi-weekly) to share their goals related to their scholarly or creative projects, report on whether they met their goals for the preceding period, and to define their goals for the upcoming period. Sign-up options will be announced soon.
The Junior Faculty Research Group (JFRG), offers in-person accountability groups for junior faculty and are highly recommended for pre-tenure or visiting faculty members. This group is run by and for junior faculty, led this year by Jethro Hernandez Berrones. Look for sign-up information in your email.
Conversations On Our Scholarly & Creative Lives
This series enables faculty to learn about colleagues’ scholarly and creative work while joining together for refreshments and conversation. Presenters share their work and then discuss it with the audience. At present, none of these talks are scheduled for the fall term.
