SUMMARY:Building Mentorship Skills for Academic Careers
DESCRIPTION:This is an invitation-only event for registrants who have been accepted 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 remotely delivered workshops designed for current graduate students and postdocs and open to those in all fields\, you will develop essential research mentoring skills\, particularly in disciplines where research is conducted collaboratively and in teams. Effective mentoring of student research is a key skill influencing everything from research productivity to personal satisfaction. Learn best practices for mentoring undergraduate\, graduate\, and postdoctoral researchers\, and develop advising 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 and actively participating in small and large group discussions online. Building Mentorship Skills program completion certificates will be provided for fully participating in at least 4 of 5 sessions. \nRegistered participants will receive connection details for each session. \nSchedule of Topics for Spring 2021\nAll sessions are on Thursdays from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm* \nFebruary 11\, 2021 – 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 25\, 2021 – 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 11\, 2021 – Creating Inclusive Research Settings\, featuring My Voice\, My Story: Lived Experiences of Graduate and Professional Students\n*Meets 11:00-1:00 this week. \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. Guest presenter: Associate Dean Sara Xayarath Hernández. \nMarch 25\, 2021 – 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). \nApril 8\, 2021 – Supporting Mentees’ Professional Development: Helping Students 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?\n\nContact Dr. Colleen McLinn\, futurefaculty@cornell.edu or 607-255-2030
