This was the first FIG of the fall 2015 semester. In this session, participants were asked to pre-read the first sections of W. Brad Johnson’s (2008), The Elements of Mentoring that examine the skills as well as style and personality of good mentors. We also discussed basics about the possible benefits of mentoring and defined what mentoring is/ is not along with providing an overview about the status of the Faculty-Student mentoring program. This session was intended to be part training for any new mentors looking to be matched to a mentee or those already providing mentoring, but have never sat through any formal training about mentoring.
