The Nuts and Bolts of Mentoring Graduate Students: Building Relationships, Setting Goals, & Creating Success
Thursday, February 8, 2024, 1:00pm to 2:00pm Via Zoom
Dr. Matt Englar-Carlson, Department of Counseling
Effective mentoring of graduate students of color is not mentoring as usual. It requires culturally responsive attention to the multiple identities and lived experiences of the mentee. This workshop explores evidence-based mentoring practices that focus on nurturing the relationship between mentor and mentee. Cultivating belonging, addressing overcoming barriers in higher education, and setting reasonable and reachable goals are the building blocks of graduate student success. Attendees will reflect upon their mentoring style, develop practical strategies for communicating with mentees, and gain an understanding of realistic ways to be an effective mentor.
