Workshop themes

Through a combination of presentation, case studies and small and large group discussions, this 3-hour workshop explores academic mentorship themes of interest as identified though focus groups and interviews.

  • Whole Person
    Inviting a holistic bidirectional relationship
  • Structure and Support
    Setting clear expectations on both sides
  • Mentoring Across Differences
    Acknowledging and working with identity and background differences

Using these themes as a road map, workshop presenters and participants discuss effective methods, tools and resources to promote and support a respectful and collaborative mentoring model.

The fall session will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025. Coffee and tea will be available starting at 8:30 AM, and the workshop will run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
