Faculty Mentoring

What does mentorship look like at UAlbany? 

The University at Albany encourages its faculty to develop mentoring programs and cultivate a culture of mentoring on our campuses.  

Mentorship is about the flow of knowledge between people, and not necessarily in only one direction or within a hierarchy. Whether you are a junior or senior faculty member, your peers are a valuable resource. 

Individual faculty members, academic departments, schools, colleges and the University itself all have a role to play in fostering mentor-mentee partnerships on our campuses.

While this guide emphasizes the mentoring of junior faculty, opportunities for mentorship can and should be available to faculty of all ranks.
