Overview
The Center for Teaching and Learning is excited to announce the launch of a Community of Practice (CoP) focused on research mentorship for undergraduate and graduate students. This initiative aims to foster collaboration, share best practices, and enhance the mentorship experience for both students and mentors.
What is the Community of Practice?
A Community of Practice is a group of individuals who share a common interest in a specific area and come together to learn from one another. Our CoP will provide a platform for faculty, researchers, and experienced mentors to discuss strategies, share resources, and engage in meaningful dialogue about research mentorship. By participating, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Collaborate: Connect with fellow mentors from diverse disciplines to share experiences and insights.
- Learn: Engage in topics that focus on effective mentorship strategies and student engagement.
- Support: Create a network of support that encourages both mentors and mentees to thrive in their research pursuits.
Who should join?
This CoP is open to all faculty and researchers who are involved in mentoring undergraduate or graduate students in research. Whether you are an experienced mentor or new to the role, your participation will enrich the community.
Meeting Schedule
We will hold regular meetings throughout the academic year. Spring 2025 virtual meetings will be held on: 1/23, 2/13, 3/6, 4/3, and 4/24 from 2:30-3:30 pm.
