II. SUNY – Wide new faculty mentoring cohorts
After a successful first year in 2020 – 2021, this program (being offered once again in 2021-22 at no cost to tenure track faculty on all 64 SUNY campuses) is a collaboration between the Center for Mentoring, Learning and Academic Innovation (CMLAI) SUNY Empire State College and the SUNY Center for Professional Development (CPD).
The SUNY New Faculty Peer Mentoring Community is designed to support the work of new tenure track colleagues in their first two years (since fall 2020)* across the State University of New York. This Peer Mentoring Community offers new faculty an opportunity to talk about vital issues as teachers, scholars and advisors. This informal, group-oriented, and participant-directed program has two goals:
- Build community and connection among new SUNY faculty
- Provide peer support in navigating various aspects of the faculty role – teaching, mentoring/advising, service, scholarship (and more)
The program will consist of a series of regular online meetings facilitated by CMLAI & CPD faculty and staff.
