Michigan Tech offers three faculty mentoring programs that promote success and retention for mid-career faculty, and newly hired tenure track faculty and instructional track faculty.
Advanced Career Management (ACM) promotes mid-career faculty development, success, and retention through peer mentoring groups organized into three career tracks: Leadership/Administration, Research Intensive, and Research and Teaching Excellence.
Early Career Management (ECM) Committees pairs each newly hired faculty member with three established faculty for monthly meetings throughout their first year at Michigan Tech. We are interested in your success!
The Instructional Track Faculty (ITF) Mentoring program assigns each newly hired ITF member to a mentoring committee that consists of other new ITF, along with two senior ITF, for monthly meetings throughout their first year at Michigan Tech.
In addition to these three programs, the following workshop is being offered in 2025:
Guiding Growth: A Workshop for Faculty Mentors
