Faculty Mentor Committee:

  • Conduct annual survey with some modifications.
  • Initiate a literature review on mentoring in academic institutions.
  • Examine mentoring programs at our peer universities.
  • Develop a best practices document after the systems used by our peers are investigated as well. CAS’s and COBA’s documents already provide excellent starting points.
