About the Program

Faculty mentoring is a significant component in a faculty’s career development, retention and success. NIU offers numerous mentoring opportunities university-wide and within colleges and departments. These support faculty across career stages, from early-career to mid-career and beyond, and across roles and responsibilities, including research, scholarship, artistry, teaching, leadership, engagement and service.
