Faculty Mentoring

Whitman offers two mentoring programs, one for faculty in tenure-track positions and one for faculty with non-tenure-track appointments. Mentors provide teaching and career advice, help socialize new faculty members into the academic culture at Whitman, address questions about promotion and offer social support. Some activities of the mentoring program take place in a group setting while others take place one-on-one. One-on-one mentoring has been linked to higher job performance, and more importantly, increased job and life satisfaction.

To learn more about the mentoring program, please contact Kisha Schlegel at schlegkl@whitman.edu (for tenure-track faculty) or Mary Raschko at raschkml@whitman.edu (for non-tenure-track faculty).
