Mid-Career Peer Mentoring Program
The goal of the Mid-career Mentoring Program is to promote the advancement of tenured women faculty. The Mid-career Mentoring Program provides funds to encourage tenured women to seek external funding, collaborate, create networks, and gain access to administrators. Women apply for funds to create their own peer, mid-career mentoring teams which may be interdisciplinary and/or mixed gender; the teams will meet informally once a month. The program also includes formal meetings involving mid-career mentoring teams and academic administrators.
These meetings support continued reverse mentoring in which women faculty share experiences and ideas with administrators.
Application Deadline for 2012-13 Academic Year: No deadline.
