MENTOR | MENTEE PAIRING
Mentor/Mentee Pairing, at the request of a junior faculty, FMP can pair them with senior tenured faculty from outside their own department or college. An optimal pairing between faculty outside of one's own focus can be enhanced when fields of interest are affiliated. However, highly successful pairings between faculty with varied fields and backgrounds have also been accomplished.
An optimal and confidential pairing benefits both Mentee and Mentor:
• Mentees receive information on the Manoa community, guidance on departmental
processes, development of research and service agendas, advancing and documenting
assessment of teaching, guidance in publishing, and advice on dossier preparation, as
well as extending and sustaining collegial relations across campus.
• Mentors also receive benefits through association with young researchers on
cutting-edge scholarship; potential future collaboration in scholarly work with energetic
junior resources; possible future team-teaching with former Mentee; development of
writing group members; and, new teaching practices from junior faculty.
