Mentoring Minority Faculty Members (Audio)

As colleges work to diversify their faculties, many realize that recruiting is only half the equation. As with students, retention matters too. Yet survey after survey finds that many minority professors are less likely than their white counterparts to feel welcomed by institutions, to have mentors, and to feel that the institutional culture is inclusive. Some colleges are identifying strategies that reach out to their minority faculty members.

In this audio recording, Dr. Blake-Beard discuss how colleges can provide minority professors with mentors and an inclusive environment. She discussed:

• The definition and characteristics of mentoring
• Important differences between informal mentoring relationships and formal mentoring initiatives
• Common challenges facing mentoring programs in higher education
• Best practices for mentoring across dimensions of diversity
• Specific strategies for mentoring faculty of color

This event is ideal for:

• Provosts, deans and academic affairs administrators
• Department heads
• Diversity officers
• Human resources professionals
