Faculty Mentoring at UNT

Faculty Success Mentoring Program

The UNT Faculty Mentoring Program provides faculty with support and resources for successful academic careers. Based on research and feedback from UNT stakeholders, the UNT Faculty Mentoring Program uses a network model of mentoring that encourages faculty to seek multiple mentors.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 Types of Faculty Mentoring

To help new faculty transition into their new roles, the UNT Faculty Mentoring Program provides departmental mentoring by requiring chairs to pair new faculty with a senior colleague as a mentor. Faculty Success also encourages faculty to seek cross-disciplinary mentoring, and will facilitate cross-disciplinary mentor pairing for faculty who request it. Faculty Success encourages faculty to seek peer mentoring from Faculty Learning Communities and the University Writing Group.

Mentoring Programs

Faculty Success provides funding opportunities for mentoring including:

1. The CREATE Program to support assistant professors' scholarship
2. Conference Support for full-time faculty of all ranks
3. Individual and team mentoring grants

These programs support professional development and help faculty receive external mentoring from mentors at other institutions. 

Many departments and colleges offer group mentoring opportunities, and Faculty Success provides mentoring programming to support faculty mentoring through Events, asynchronous Mentor Training, and Mentoring Resources on our website.

UNT is committed to a culture of mentoring excellence in all areas that impact faculty life, and building a network of mentors is foundational to our success.
