Faculty Mentor Program

The Mentoring Program at Austin Peay State University is designed to provide guidance to new faculty in their first year for their success as valued members of the APSU community. In this program, experienced faculty members assist new faculty in adjusting to the myriad roles of professor, including teaching, advising, scholarship, service, and campus culture.

The roles of mentor and mentee are intended to be dynamic and interactive, thereby making the success of the relationship dependent on constructing meaningful dialogues and designing tangible actions. In higher education, new faculty mentoring programs provide the opportunity to share pertinent and valuable information, including resources, support, and cross-disciplinary collaboration and discussion.
