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
To sign up, visit the Writing and Research Groups page.
Peer Writing and Review Groups
These are small (3-4 people) cross-disciplinary groups for faculty who want to share their writing-in-progress and receive thoughtful feedback from colleagues. Groups can meet for as little as a semester but may choose to stay together for longer. They often meet every 3-4 weeks.
Writing & Research Accountability Groups – online or in-person
Accountability groups of 3-4 people require less time commitment than peer review groups. Members agree to check-in regularly (usually weekly or bi-weekly) to report on whether they met their goals for the preceding period, and to define their goals for the upcoming period. Sign-up
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.
