Advising/Mentoring Graduate Students
Resources for Faculty Mentors
The Center for Innovation in Teaching (CITL) has an up-to-date page dedicated to resources on mentoring graduate students:
Here you will find guides for mentors and mentees, a sample individual development plan (IDP), mentorship agreements, and a special section on mentoring First-Generation and graduate students of color.
The following two documents are also thorough resources for mentoring graduate students. They are both very useful, but the second document is especially interesting, as it offers a balanced focus on growth for both mentors and mentees, puts emphasis on mentoring junior colleagues of color, and specifies issues that come up for junior faculty of diverse groups.
- How to Mentor Graduate Students, Guide for Faculty (Michigan University)
- Guidance for Mentoring Junior Scholars, with Emphasis on Mentoring Graduate Students and Postdocs Across Difference, 2017
