Mentoring
The Chair or Division Chief can help you to find mentors within your Department, the School, and the University. You may wish to select mentors for both your career development and advancement, as well as for your specific academic roles. Some faculty have identified a mentor by attending the annual Speed Mentoring event and OFA can also assist you.
