Mentoring Program
The Mentoring Program is a key initiative of OSU ADVANCE, a program funded by the National Science Foundation. The Mentoring Program matches tenure-track and tenured STEM faculty with other faculty and administrators for career guidance and professional development. Open to both men and women, it helps to foster one-to-one connections, improve social networks, and encourage research collaboration.
Successful mentoring relationships are built on mutual respect and appreciation. Yet, a single mentor is unlikely to meet all the mentee's needs. That is why OSU ADVANCE hosts events throughout the year so participants can network with others in the mentoring program. Events include brown-bag lunch seminars and professional development workshops on topics such as leadership, negotiation, grant writing, preparing promotion dossiers, and work/life balance.
