The Office of Faculty Development (OFD) is happy to announce the award of 15 grants to faculty and librarians leading mutual mentoring projects in 2024–25.
OFD's 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. Projects take on a wide range of challenges—equitable access to undergraduate research experiences; mentorship for late-career women faculty, for Hispanic engineers, and for parents; departmental culture; building community within and across disciplines; interprofessional education programming; and many others.
Associate Provost for Faculty Development Angela de Oliveira shares, "We are thrilled to deliver this year's grants to an impressive, passionate, and dedicated group of projects. 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."
We would like to congratulate Professor Debi Mohapatra and Professor Lucy Xiaolu Wang as being recipients for this year's award. Professor Mohapatra and Wang worked alongside Professor Christopher Boone and Elizabeth Evans on Building Health Economics.
