Faculty Mentorship Network

The CFDE Faculty Mentorship Network aims to provide all Emory faculty confidential opportunities for support and conversation with colleagues, by providing access to multiple mentors. More than 180 Emory faculty from a wide range of schools and departments have volunteered to support their colleagues in areas such as teaching observations, guest lecturing, research, scholarship, university service, public scholarship, and general professional development. Mentoring is life-long: just as faculty mentor students and trainees at all levels, faculty at all levels can benefit from mentoring as well. Likewise, no one person can provide all of the mentoring expertise you may need: we are happy to connect you with multiple mentors on multiple topics. For a complete list of topics, see the link below.
