This discussion group explores how mid- and senior-level faculty can effectively support their junior colleagues while respecting their autonomy and academic freedom. Discussants will share strategies for mentorship in teaching, scholarship, and service, as well as for guiding newer faculty through institutional norms and promotion and tenure expectations. The group will also discuss fostering collaboration and camaraderie across faculty cohorts, including tenured, pre-tenure, clinical, academic success, and legal writing faculty. In exchanging practical approaches to mentorship, discussants will consider how experienced faculty can help build a supportive academic culture that benefits everyone as we strive to achieve our common mission of educating our students to the best of our abilities.
