How long does mentorship last?

By our definition, mentorship relationships are sustained over time and extend beyond a single conversation or workshop. Within this framing, they can last a lifetime or for only a specific period of time during which a mentee seeks guidance on a personal or professional goal, project or objective.

How are mentoring programs structured

There are various mentorship models, including the traditional one-on-one model, group mentoring, peer or near-peer mentoring, and mentorship networks. Each unit within FSE has developed its own mentorship structure for M360.

What does a mentoring relationship look like?

Mentoring relationships and programs are all different. But often they include a combination of components such as:

  • Regularly scheduled meetings/check-ins.
  • Career-related guidance.
  • Workshops on topics such as grant writing, syllabus development, and research.
  • Psychosocial support related to personal matters and how to navigate them in the context of career progression.
  • Other situations/topics.
