Teaching and Mentoring

Why do you teach? How do you teach? How do you measure your effectiveness? Most academic job applications require applicants to address these questions in a Statement of Teaching Philosophy (SoTP). Developing a SoTP can help you clarify your goals as an educator and reflect on how you teach.

No one mentor can provide all the mentorship you need. This session will cover why we need multiple mentors, how to find them, and an action plan for building a supportive mentorship network.

Fall Quarter is an essential time for faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars to align expectations for the coming academic year. Mentors and mentees should meet to discuss how they will communicate, structure meetings, and outline progress for the quarter.

Mentoring experience is becoming increasingly important for PhDs, whether pursuing a career in academia or industry.
