Mentor Program

URI Faculty Mentoring Policy		Approved by the Provost Dec. 21, 2006 "All URI colleges shall implement a mentoring policy that provides for effective mentoring for their new faculty. This mentoring shall consist of career-advancing guidance, as well as social and psychological support for the new faculty member. College policies shall include the provision of one or more mentor(s) to each new faculty member, some form of mentor training, and regular "checking in" to ensure that the needs of junior faculty are being met."
URI Faculty Mentoring Program		ADVANCE is grateful to the Provost for endorsing the creation of a URI Faculty Mentoring Program at the University in December 2006. Recognizing that many departments/colleges have excellent mentoring programs well underway, the need exists to have formal expectations and a set of resources in place to ensure that all new faculty are provided good mentoring.
College Mentoring Policies		All colleges have provided mentoring program policies. ADVANCE can offer guidance and materials to colleges that would like to fine tune their mentoring policies and practices.
ADVANCE Mentoring Web Tutorial		We have developed a web tutorial, which is a reduced version of our Mentoring Handbook.
ADVANCE Mentoring Materials		In addition to the Web tutorial, you may contact the ADVANCE office for copies of the materials below. Also, you may refer to mentoring workshops for additional materials. 10 Best Mentoring Practices Advance Mentor Program Calendar Faculty Mentoring Handbook 2007 Mentoring Brochure for Mentors Mentoring Brochure for Mentees Mentor Profile Self-Assessment
Workshops		ADVANCE facilitates mentoring workshops, lunches and socials for new faculty, and will be offering more in the future to which both mentors and new faculty can attend. Our workshops allow for open communication and are used as a forum in which issues and concerns of new faculty are presented and discussed.
