In advance of the 2020-21 Outstanding Faculty Mentor Awards, the Graduate College hosted two mentoring sessions designed to help new graduate students develop and make the most of their mentoring relationships. 

In September, the Graduate College launched the first in a series of new workshops about graduate student mentorship. Hosted in partnership with the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, Mentoring Matters: Knowing Your Mentoring Needs helped new graduate students better understand graduate-level mentorship.  

Providing strong mentorship is one of the most lasting, impactful ways faculty can support and empower their students and postdocs.
