The ADVANCE Center, Deputy Provost for Graduate Education, and Office of Research invite faculty and postdocs who are mentors to apply for a five-session mentor development workshop series from September 4-October 6, 2024 in Williams 341.
The deadline is August 23, 2024.
Using the curriculum created by CIMER: the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research, participants will actively engage in discussions on topics including the following, which have been identified by research mentors:
Aligning Expectations
Maintaining Effective Communication
Addressing Diversity & Ethics
Assessing Understanding & Fostering Independence
Promoting Professional Development
In addition, attendees will spend a portion of each session developing and refining their own mentoring action plans, applicable to federal grants which require mentoring plans for trainees.
Each in-person session will be facilitated by Dr. Hutnik, Dr. Levine, and Ms. Chao, and will foster networking and skill building with a light breakfast.
The general schedule of each session and the specific dates are outlined below.
8:30-9:00 Light breakfast and networking
9:00-11:00 CIMER Interactive Workshop Content
11:00-11:30 Mentor Action Plan Development
Participants (at least 12) must commit to all sessions; space is limited to 25 people. The Fall 2024 application form will ask for your name, basic contact information, about any acommodations necessary for your full participation, and a brief paragraph about what you hope to gain from attending this series.
Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate and a celebration at the final session,
Please complete the application by August 23, 2024 so we may notify you by August 30th.
Contact Dr. Levine (mjl410@lehigh.edu) or Dr. Hutnik (kaha@lehigh.edu) if you have questions.
Research suggests women may be drawn more to collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Lehigh ADVANCE will shed light on to what extent and how interdisciplinary work is gendered, not only in terms of participation but in terms of outcomes.
