SUMMARY:Building Mentoring Skills for an Academic Career (Online)
DESCRIPTION:This is an invitation-only event for registrants who have been selected to participate in this year’s Building Mentoring Skills cohort\, and will be held online. A Zoom link will be shared by email to participants. \nIn this series of lunchtime workshops for graduate students and postdocs offered by CIRTL at Cornell\, you will develop essential research mentoring skills\, particularly in disciplines where research is conducted collaboratively (e.g.\, in a research team\, field setting\, or laboratory group). Effective mentoring of students is a key skill influencing everything from research productivity to personal satisfaction. Learn best practices for mentoring undergraduate\, graduate\, and postdoctoral researchers\, and develop planning and communication skills needed to lead a research team. \nAll sessions will be practical in nature and feature short pre-readings or videos\, case studies or discussion with panelists\, and self-assessments to help identify your strengths and desired areas for improvement. \nInterested participants should apply prior to the start of the series with the expectation of attending all workshops in person. Program completion certificates will be provided for fully participating in at least 4 of 5 sessions. \nAll sessions are from 12:00-2:00 pm. Registered participants will receive location details for each session. \nSchedule of Topics for Spring 2020\nJanuary 29\, 2020 – What Makes a Good Mentor and Mentee? Exploring Learning\, Motivation\, and Values\nUnderstand key principles of learning and theories of motivation that can help you build a strong research group\, and even learn more about yourself and values you wish to communicate to mentees. \nFebruary 11\, 2020 – Aligning Expectations and Guiding Doable Projects\nHow do you design a doable project with a defined timespan for a relative novice in your discipline? Learn how to set expectations for mentor and mentee to make sure the project and relationship stay on track. \nMarch 3\, 2020 – Handling Tricky Mentoring Situations\nLearn how to address some of the trickiest situations you might encounter when mentoring undergraduate researchers or graduate students\, from modeling appropriate research ethics to sharing co-advised students. We will also discuss how you might solicit feedback and turn around projects that aren’t going as planned (from the mentor’s perspective). \nMarch 24\, 2020 – Creating Inclusive Research Settings\nCreate and sustain a research group and academic climate in which each individual feels safe and supported. We will discuss how to create a welcoming environment for groups typically underrepresented in higher education\, while reflecting on our own identities and experiences and how they may be strengths or blind spots in our mentoring. \nApril 7\, 2020 – Supporting Mentees’ Professional Development: Helping them Present and Publish\, and Writing Fair Letters of Recommendation\nRevisit some key ideas about effective communication to introduce your students to writing about and presenting their work. Learn how to write a fair letter of recommendation\, and what not to say. \nQuestions? \nContact Colleen McLinn\, CIRTL at Cornell Director\, cirtl@cornell.edu or 607-255-2030. \nSponsored by the Center for the Integration of Research\, Teaching\, and Learning (CIRTL)  at the Cornell Graduate School. \nWe strive to make our events accessible to all community members. Individuals who have food restrictions and/or would like to request accessibility accommodations should contact cirtl@cornell.edu. We ask that requests be made at least one week in advance of an event to help ensure they can be met.
