Peer Mentoring Circles
WHAT ARE PEER MENTORING CIRCLES?
Peer mentoring is a proven mechanism for faculty members to share ideas and concerns, develop skills, and create support
mechanisms with people in your peer group. It also provides an opportunity
to develop networking across departments and campus groups.
Facilitated Peer Mentoring Circles allow
for safe communication among peers on the areas of most interest and concern to
them. The inclusion of a facilitator also provides a line for anonymous
communication of faculty needs to the administration.
