Entering Mentoring/Mentoring Up
Mentor/Mentee Training for Grads and Postdocs
Grad students and post-docs are often in the squishy middle of a mentoring sandwich, mentoring less experienced students but still needing mentorship from their advisors.
TGS offers training for graduate students to learn how to be more effective as both a mentor AND mentee through an innovative application of the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience’s (CIMER) evidence-backed mentor and mentee training curricula by CIMER trained facilitators.
Upon completing at least 6 of the 8 1.5-hour sessions, and submission of a mentoring statement you will receive a certificate certifying your completion of the CIMER Entering Mentoring training (looks great on a CV!).
Trainings are held on the UConn Health Farmington Campus in the spring semester, and on the Storrs campus and online in the summer.
Each Cohort is limited to 20 participants. Priority will go to those in the RAP program, and then those mentoring undergraduates; otherwise, registration is on a first come, first serve basis.
If you are interested in joining this dynamic and engaging learning community, please check back in April to register for summer 2027.
If you have any questions about this training, please email Rachel Prunier – rachel.prunier@uconn.edu – or Andi Kent – andi.kent@uconn.edu.
