Targeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM) ADVANCE


College of TEAM ADVANCE ImagesTargeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM) ADVANCE promotes accessible, equitable, and effective mentoring across the University and across social identities. We provide educational materials and resources to chairs, deans, and administrators to support departmental mentoring. We also offer intersectionality-informed programs to improve faculty mentor and mentee experiences at each faculty career stage. In turn, our relationships and programs foster institutional change, support faculty retention, and promote faculty career development and professional achievements.

TEAM ADVANCE was developed and supported by an NSF ADVANCE grant (NSF Award 1760187). The grant concluded August 31, 2023. However, TEAM ADVANCE’s faculty mentoring and leadership programs are sustained through the Center for Faculty Excellence and in collaboration with our campus partners.

This interactive workshop focuses on helping early-career faculty prepare for their annual review meeting with their department chairs. Participants will review key points and strategies related to self-assessment, self-advocacy, and communication with their chairs (and/or departmental designees).

All early-career faculty are welcome, whether pre-tenure or fixed-term. Early-career faculty participating in TEAM ADVANCE Peer Mentoring Circles are especially encouraged to attend.
