The resources below can help those thinking about requesting or volunteering to serve as a mentor or who are already working with a mentor or mentee to be more effective in the relationship. A mentor need not, and in some cases should not, be an expert in the field of the faculty being mentored. A coach is defined as someone who has subject area expertise whereas a mentor provides general guidance. While no substitute for a mentor, faculty feeling marginalized may also wish to explore Conditionally Accepted, a blog for scholars who feel on the margins of academia.
If you are a faculty member who will be reviewed and must prepare your dossier, you can access sample dossiers through my.newschool.
