Program Description
The Community Engaged Scholars: Mentoring Network is designed to align with 91ɫƵ’s mission for CE. Senior faculty members with extensive experience in CE and CEnR guide and foster capacity for 91ɫƵ faculty interested in improving their scholarship tracks for CE and CEnR.

The mentoring network is designed to be an individualized experience. The time commitment for your involvement in the program is decided between you and your mentor. Mentoring can be provided at multiple levels, ensuring participants will finish the program with a better understanding of and stronger orientation for CE and CEnR.

The application process requires you to tell us about your work and goals through an application form, and share with us your curriculum vitae. If you are selected, we will match you with a qualified mentor who can aid in guiding your career orientation to CE and CEnR.
