Upcoming National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD) Workshops at the University of Minnesota

National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity Workshops hosted by the U of M Institute for Diversity, Equity, and Advocacy (IDEA). Sponsored by the Office for Equity and Diversity and the Office for Faculty and Academic Affairs.

Free and open to all faculty, graduate students, and postdocs. 

Rethinking Mentoring: Building Communities of Inclusion, Support, & Accountability

April 30, 2024 • In-person
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Register here

This workshop is designed to start a new type of discussion about mentoring by describing the common problems that pre-tenure and post-tenure faculty members experience and why traditional mentoring programs fail to meet those needs. We propose an alternative framework for mentoring that focuses on needs assessment and shifts the idea of mentoring from a relationship between two faculty members towards building a broad network of support, community, and accountability.

Become a DEI Coach | Sign Up Here
The DEI student coaches program has been established to support students across our Medical School’s campuses who have encountered a challenging situation (such as mistreatment/harassment, micro/macroaggressions, navigating the hidden curriculum of medical school) in the learning environment–particularly in clinical rotations. The mentorship program is open to all and particularly aims to provide support to students with marginalized identities. This program is supported by Undergraduate Medical Education, the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, and ODEI at the Medical School.

Watch the School of Public Health’s SPH Antiracism Animated Video Series: Equality vs. Equity vs. Justice
Check out the third video in the School of Public Health's antiracism animated video series: How do we make health data more equitable? The video highlights how health science data is often WEIRD, or representative of Western/White, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic populations. Ensuring research participants and teams are non-WEIRD helps our community promote accurate and equitable public health data.
