Abstract
This workshop will focus on how mentoring in higher education should promote a nurturing and supportive environment in which faculty and staff thrive professionally and personally. The discussion will include the importance of the mentoring relationship, especially after the isolation and disengagement caused by the global pandemic. Presenters will share results from a study on mentoring and leadership in higher education as well as information about mentoring types, stages, benefits, and pitfalls. Mentoring relationships are essential for individual and organizational growth and success as they positively affect both mentors and mentees. Mentoring can enact change on college campuses by establishing professional networks, opening doors to leadership, and creating increased opportunities. Participants will engage in interactive discussion, build a global community, and learn how to lift up others as they engage in discussion and activities. Together, mentoring in higher education can change our world one protege at a time.
