Mentoring Program

The Office of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development is collaborating with the Office of Professional Development and Learning in providing mentoring. The Office of Professional Development and Learning offers a way for us to link faculty mentors and mentees. Mentoring is a mutually rewarding experience and the Office of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development will work with you, your mentor, and MaryAnn Stark, Senior Employee and Organizational Development Specialist to help provide a connection with the goal of ongoing professional growth.

Please fill out the faculty mentee form for faculty mentees or the general mentor form for the mentor application.

(1,2) Innovative methods to foster advancement of women in education, research, and leadership are needed. Upstate Academic Women’s eMentoring (UWe) provides a broad network for outreach, connections, and support.
