The Office of the Provost is excited to announce the Spring 2023 CIMER workshop series for WashU faculty mentoring graduate students. These workshops are open to faculty on the Danforth and Medical Campuses. CIMER (the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research) is a leading organization for the development of best practices in mentorship at all levels of post-secondary institutions.
WashU faculty and staff who are certified facilitators through CIMER will co-lead workshops covering four modules that explore CIMER’s core competencies for effective mentoring, see below. Faculty participants will engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue, as well as collaboratively discuss and problem-solve mentoring concerns.
