As part of its Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) program, CANSSI regularly organizes EDI workshops and training sessions for the statistical sciences community.
We invite you to join us for this two-hour online workshop developed by the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity and led by Dr. Joy Gaston Gayles, professor of higher education at North Carolina State University.
Traditional ideas about mentoring often leave faculty feeling that something is missing in their professional development. In this workshop, we challenge the conventional wisdom about faculty mentoring and present a new framework to help you re-imagine how mentoring works. All participants will map their current mentoring network, identify the pressing areas of need that are not being met, and create a plan to expand their existing mentoring network.
