Faculty Mentor Training by Prof. Anna Sokac and Dr. Sharlene Denos. 11am-1pm on July 27, 28, 29, and 30.

The goal of this workshop is to help the Program Faculty be more effective and culturally responsive in their research mentoring relationships. In the workshop, mentors will: (1) Increase their knowledge of evidence-based research mentoring strategies to better align expectations and promote mentee professional development; (2) Identify how their own cultural beliefs, worldviews, and identities influence their mentoring practices; (3) Increase their awareness of how cultural diversity can bring both benefits and challenges to research mentoring and training environments; (4) Recognize and build skills to mitigate the impact of biases, stereotype threat, and privilege in order to foster trusting, culturally responsive mentoring relationships.
