An innovative pilot program is providing new faculty members in the Faculty of Science with a host of mentorship, career development and networking opportunities aimed at helping them succeed in their first years at McMaster and throughout their careers.
The New Faculty Mentoring Program, which will run throughout the 2019/20 academic year, pairs a cohort of fourteen new teaching and tenure track faculty in the Faculty of Science with established faculty, while offering a suite of workshops and other sessions on a range of faculty development topics with an emphasis on building professional networks and supporting teaching excellence.
The pilot was initiated by the Faculty of Science and developed in partnership with the Office of the Vice-Provost, Faculty and the MacPherson Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Excellence in Teaching.
