M360 Faculty Mentorship program
Mentorship 360 (M360) is the Fulton Schools of Engineering’s faculty mentorship program. Initially launched with support from the Kern Family Foundation, M360 is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet the unique needs of each unit within the Fulton Schools.
The goal of the Fulton Schools faculty mentorship program is to provide Fulton Schools faculty with career and psychosocial support that will positively impact their productivity, well-being and sense of belonging.
What is mentorship?
We adopt the definition of mentorship from the 2019 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report1 in which mentorship is conceptualized as is “a professional, working alliance in which individuals work together over time to support the personal and professional growth, development, and success of the relational partners through the provision of career and psychosocial support.”
M360 advocates and provides related training to support the implementation of culturally responsive mentorship practices. A culturally responsive mentor is aware of their own beliefs, perceptions, and expectations and is cognizant of and honoring of differences and similarities in these attributes between themselves and their mentee.
