The Office of Faculty Development (OFD) has announced the recipients of the 2024-25 Mutual Mentoring Grants, including two team grants and two micro grants within the College of Humanities & Fine Arts (HFA). Grants are awarded to faculty and librarians leading mutual mentoring projects.
The Mutual Mentoring Grant Program aims to help faculty and librarians to develop and deepen their mentoring networks and community and to grow as researchers, teachers and leaders in their fields. This year’s cohort involves faculty from a variety of career stages and from all parts of campus, including eight colleges and schools, the Libraries, and University Without Walls. The projects receiving grants confront a wide range of challenges, including equitable access to undergraduate research experiences, mentorship for late-career women faculty, Hispanic engineers and parents, departmental culture, building community within and across disciplines, inter-professional education programming and many more.
“We are thrilled to deliver this year’s grants to an impressive, passionate and dedicated group of projects,” says, Angela de Oliveira, associate provost for faculty development shares. “OFD is excited to empower these individuals and teams, both for their own professional development and for the positive impact they will make on campus.”
