Faculty Mutual Mentoring Groups

CETL Mutual Mentoring Groups (MMGs) provide an opportunity for KSU faculty to build community with peers and to support each other while achieving goals within a thematic focus, as defined by the group. They are facilitated by a lead faculty mentor, meet monthly or bimonthly, and are structured according to member preference. Some are accountability groups which provide regular check-in times to discuss progress made toward goals, some explore resources and research on a selected area of focus, some are professional support groups, and some are a combination of these. Members commit to attend most of the meetings each semester and receive no funding for participation.

Please click on the name of the group below for more information and the link to sign up to participate. Registration for these groups closes one day prior to the first meeting each semester. Please email the facilitator directly in order to join after registration closes.
