Mentoring & Advising Summit

The Office of the Provost hosts an annual summit that convenes mentors, advisors, and coaches to discuss new trends and best practices in mentoring and advising.

The summit focuses on specific tools, techniques, theories, and concepts that support students as they chart clear goals and direction for the future, develop enduring networks of colleagues and mentors, and sustain their pursuit of success after graduation.

Benefits:

  • Network with other faculty and staff who mentor, advise, and coach students.
  • Get up-to-date information on topics, trends, and successful strategies, locally and nationally.
  • Learn best practices that you can adapt for your own program and students.
  • Explore new and emerging technologies that facilitate informed, effective, and efficient mentoring and advising.
  • Share your innovative solutions and strategies with colleagues.
