Division/Committee: [PROF] Division of Professional Relations

Recognizing the national need for high-quality, well-informed career mentoring for graduate and undergraduate students in the physical sciences, the COMPASS faculty workshop aims to introduce faculty to career planning and mentoring resources, to provide training for faculty on using those resources, and to position faculty to use these resources on their respective campuses. The workshops covered topics including career planning, mentor training and effective communication, culturally aware mentoring, crafting an action plan, promoting professional development, and changing departmental culture. Workshops were held in spring 2019 and spring 2021, at which participants crafted plans to implement programmatic change at their respective institutions. This symposium will feature descriptions of the projects that faculty participants implemented and the outcomes of those projects. Sponsored by Research Corporation for Science Advancement and NSF.
