New Faculty Mentoring

- Goals and priorities for the year and managing workload,
- Resources that they can connect their student with to help ensure that their students are successful,
- Academic advising,
- A peer review committee and the faculty evaluation process (for tenure track faculty)
- Opportunities for their students (e.g., Summer Scholars, Symposium on Undergraduate Research, Graduate Research Forum, Boyd Fund),
- Internal grant opportunities to support their teach, research, or community engagement,
- Faculty governance and service to the university,
- Summer work plans, etc.
Preparing Future Faculty
Capital University’s CELT contributes to the Ohio State University’s Preparing Future Faculty program by recruiting faculty to mentor graduate students who are interested in a career at a college or university like Capital University.
