Looking for faculty mentors
AIeL is looking for full time faculty who are interested in becoming mentors to next year’s new faculty hires. Faculty mentors help new hires feel like they belong.
- First to welcome.
- First to check in.
- First to take to lunch.
- First to sit with.
- First to hear issues.
- First outside department contact.
Being a faculty mentor is not about doing the other person’s job, teaching them how to teach, acting as a boss or walking them through every step. It’s about helping them learn.
- Giving them “the scoop.”
- Giving advice.
- Giving tutorials.
- Giving LLCC knowledge.
For more information on becoming a faculty mentor, reach out to Becky Miller or stop by her office.
