Program Information

The College of Graduate Studies, in collaboration with the Center for Educational Excellence, is excited to announce the initial planning stages of developing an innovative mentoring program designed to enhance professional interactions between graduate students, faculty, and alumni. The Council of Graduate Studies defines mentors as “advisors, people with career experience willing to share their knowledge; supporters, people who give emotional and moral encouragement; tutors, people who give specific feedback on one's performance.” In this context, a mentoring relationship is a close, individualized relationship that develops over time between a graduate student and a faculty or alumni mentor. This relationship not only provides emotional and moral support but also offers personalized feedback and shares invaluable career insights. The Mentoring Training Initiative aims to create a system in which knowledge, skills, and experiences are advanced to empower participants with the tools and connections for success in the mentor-mentee relationship.
