Mentoring

Exploring Academia Beyond Ann Arbor: Intercampus Mentorship

Calling all U-M graduate students and postdocs! Would you like to talk over lunch with faculty in your field about what teaching and research are like at schools other than U-M? Or give a guest lecture to undergrads at a liberal arts college? Or get feedback on your teaching portfolio from someone who has recently been on the job market or served on a search committee? 

The Rackham-CRLT Intercampus Mentorship Program can help you achieve these goals.  Participants in the program meet with faculty mentors at nearby colleges and universities to discuss and even collaborate on teaching, research, the job search, faculty worklife, and much more. The cost of travel and meals with a mentor is reimbursed by Rackham. Read more »
