WELCOME to
the UVM Faculty Mentoring web site! Junior faculty and lecturers who wish to have a
mentor assigned to them should complete an application by clicking here. The Faculty Mentoring Program ascribes to a structured mentoring
format based upon a guiding list of
principles. In addition to
matching mentors with proteges, we also provide various programmatic
features to support the mentoring pairs - such as training, faculty
development tips, and workshops. The Faculty Mentoring Program is sponsored by UVM's Faculty Senate and is guided
by a Mentoring Advisory Committee, a group of talented faculty members
from across the university.
This program and web site will continue to evolve over time, so
please check back for updated information. I hope you'll get involved in whatever ways you find useful! Feel
free to contact me with questions or comments at Lynne Bond or
656-1341.
The purpose of this program is to pair new and junior faculty members
and lecturers with senior members in a related discipline of the UVM
community. This relationship can support junior faculty and lecturers
(the "proteges") to become familiar with institutional expectations,
networks, and practices that are relevant to productivity and
advancement at UVM. Research has supported the importance of mentoring
for academic and career satisfaction and achievement. Research reports
that mentors also gain a variety of tangible and intangible benefits
from the mentoring process.
