Finding the Perfect Mentor

The mission of the Faculty Mentoring Committee is to enhance lifelong professional development in teaching, scholarship, and service. The mentoring relationships will support collegiality, effective communication, self-evaluation, and cultural competence, all of which enhance a stimulating and supportive university environment. Please also visit the Mentoring Tip Facebook Page. Open to all WCU, full-time “Academic” and “Administrative” faculty as defined by the most recent Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Faculty Mentoring Committee is distributed among the colleges and organizations: Business and Public Affairs, Education, Health Sciences, Visual and Performing Arts, and Non-Classroom Faculty. Members of the FMC may also serve as mentors. Faculty members on the committee will be nominated by their respective constituencies for three year terms, one-third of the members to be elected each year. Elections for each member will be university wide. New members will be elected in April, and take office July 1st.

Finding the Perfect Mentor

USA Weekend on December 9, 2011 posted a brief comment by Jeff Wuorio on How to Find the Perfect Mentor. Searching for the suitable mentor is important. Best place to start is recommended to begin with a self-assessment to determine strengths and weaknesses and identify specific areas you would like to improve. Then try to find mentors with suitable skills and experiences to match. Some seem good at what they do but talk to as many people and include potential mutual interests other than just work. Don't ignore social networks such as LinkedIn. When meeting your mentor for the first time describe specific objectives right away. Good luck.

A piquant cup of coffee in the morning, starting up my computer and cranny my browser to start my Google search in behalf of the age and a twisty second of bric-…-brac ran from top to bottom my main part wondering – what more the http://trivitanopaleascam.blogspot.com scam thing, is it absolutely that bad or it’s bluffing only?
