The Faculty-to-Faculty Mentoring Program is geared toward faculty beyond their first year:

• Faculty in their second through sixth years at GVSU are invited to join the program, meeting in groups of six or so with an experience faculty mentor.
• Most groups meet over coffee or a meal for about 1.5 hours, four times each semester.
• Each mentoring group receives $250 for the year for food and any supplies (yes to books, no to alcohol).
• We provide suggestions for possible meeting topics, but mentors have the freedom to bring in articles, plan field trips, invite guest speakers to the meetings, etc.
• The groups are considered a safe space for discussion of any topic relevant to GVSU and faculty life. Confidentiality is a given. As such, mentees are asked are matched with a mentor outside of their own academic discipline.
