Mentoring Groups this Week

We have three mentoring groups meeting this week, and I hope you’ll join us if you can.

Part-Time Instructors Mentoring Group: Building Bridges, Monday at 4pm

• Part-Time Instructors are basically independent contractors whose responsibilities are almost entirely circumscribed by the hours in which we teach. How can we expand outward from this isolated ecosystem and build productive relationships with our colleagues at UNLV and elsewhere? Join us to share and discuss ways to create meaningful connections with peers.

Non-Tenure Track Mentoring Group: Teaching Tips & Strategies, Wednesday at 2:30pm

• This open forum will be dedicated to teaching tips and strategies. Please join us and feel free to share any of your favorite teaching strategies and helpful tips, or even share any interesting teaching stories.

Tenure Track Mentoring Group: AMA with the VPFA, Friday at 1pm

• Dr. Janet Dufek, Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs (VPFA), will be available for an "Ask Me Anything (AMA)" about the tenure and promotion process. Bring all of your weirdest questions and join us for an informal and intimate Q&A with one of the people in charge of T&P at UNLV.

See you soon,

Melissa Bowles-Terry

Director, Faculty Center
