Our staff will discuss helpful information to ensure that the needs of each individual student are met to create an accessible learning environment for all.

Mutual Mentoring at Ithaca College
Moving Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Mentoring
Tuesday, September 23, 2014, Clark Lounge
Mary Deane Sorcinelli and Becky Wai-Ling Packard, Mount Holyoke College
Schedule
8.45-9.15 AM, Coffee, Croissants, and Conversation about Mentoring
9.15-10.45 AM, Mary Deane Sorcinelli and Becky Packard, Developing a Network Mentoring Program
11.00-11.50 AM, Two concurrent sessions: Early Career/Post-Tenure (both in Clark Lounge)
Mentoring offers a vital contribution to a successful academic career, particularly for women and faculty of color. The most common form of mentoring has been a “traditional model,” which is defined by a one-on-one relationship between an experienced faculty member who guides the career development of an early career faculty member. Recent literature, however, has indicated the emergence of new, more flexible approaches to mentoring in which faculty build a network of “multiple mentors” who can address a variety of career competencies.
In this interactive session, you will identify potential roadblocks to success in an academic career; explore both traditional and emerging models of mentoring; “map” your own mentoring networks; and discuss best practices in mentoring, including how to be your own best mentor.
