Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Various departments on campus coordinate their own programs. The following description is the format for the College of Engineering: Each member of the department should strive to create a supportive and collegiate atmosphere that promotes both the success of the department as a whole and the success of individual faculty. This includes continuing informal interactions as well as a more formal mentoring process. The latter is especially important for new and junior faculty who may be unfamiliar with expectations, processes and opportunities both inside and outside of the university. Described in this document is a process that is intended to formalize that mentoring of new and junior faculty, as well as senior faculty for whom this plan may be useful. This is not intended to replace, or otherwise discourage, informal interactions between faculty, which are and have been critical to our departmental success.
