Targeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM) ADVANCE

Targeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM) ADVANCE was developed and supported by an NSF ADVANCE grant (NSF Award 1760187) to promote accessible, equitable, and effective mentoring across the University and across social identities. 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.

Through the CFE, we continue to 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.

Pre-Register for CFE’s TEAM ADVANCE Peer Mentoring Circles

Peer Mentoring Circles promote early-career faculty development within multidisciplinary circles of 4-6 peer mentees, each facilitated by two experienced faculty mentors. Circles discussions follow a semi-structured curriculum, encourage peer support and networking, and are supported by a professional development workshop series.

Early-career faculty, whether fixed-term or tenure-track, can pre-register to join a Peer Mentoring Circle for 2024-25. We invite experienced faculty, either advanced associate or full professor, to serve as Circles Mentors.
