An Update from the Mentoring Working Group

Adrienne Bricker and Jennifer Love return to the podcast to discuss the work of the AACRAO Mentorship Working Group, to talk about their research and the process of being involved in a working group, along with some of their experiences with mentoring. Plus we talk about breakfast food. 

Key Takeaways:

The AACRAO working group on mentoring examined whether and how to implement a formal mentoring program for the AACRAO membership; the report from the group will be released soon. Mentoring relationships work best when expectations are clear for each side. Sometimes that means being explicit in your ask: “Will you be my mentor?” There are many ways to mentor: career advice, support and encouragement, sounding board for psychosocial development, etc.
