[CED/CD/EAT] Mentoring

[Martinez, Cathy L - (clm5)]

Thanks, everyone, for sending me your new faculty / staff orientation checklists / materials. I'll get started going through those and see what I can come up with for your review and input. It'll probably take me a few weeks given other things on my calendar, but I'll get a draft together as soon as I'm able.

The next thing I need your input with - and I hope you take some time to really help me think this through - is your thoughts on mentoring. Who should be assigning mentors (AD's, County Directors, ADs working with County Directors - what should that process look like)? What do mentors need to know about mentoring? What do mentees need to know about mentoring? What guidelines, expectations, and/or training should be available for mentors / mentees - to help ensure these assignments go well and really provide support to new faculty? Aside from orientation, what other onboarding activities or trainings should we be offering / have available for new faculty (while some of your suggestions might be good for staff too, at this time I'm particularly focused on new faculty) that will help them feel supported and prepare them to be fully productive as faculty?

Please feel free to be as descriptive as you would like - anything will be helpful (a bulleted list of ideas to several pages of your thoughts - and anything in between).

Also, thank you to Andrew who volunteered to assist with this piece. If anyone else is interested, just let me know. Thanks! Cathy

Fifteen Ways to Be Your Best Self:
Set personal goals, motivate yourself, develop peace of mind, eliminate as many distractions as possible, step out of your comfort zone, get help, focus on habits for wellness, recognize what strengths you have, do new things, be realistic, speak positive affirmations on a regular basis, be selfless to others, appreciate the small victories, recognize you are enough, and love yourself.

Be motivated to become the best that you can possibly be so you can enjoy all you can possibly desire in life.
