Mentoring Committees • All full-time Assistant Professors must have a mentoring committee. • The goal of the committee is to provide the junior faculty member with a critical assessment of his/her progress. • Two senior faculty, including one from the same department. • Meet annually. • The committee must provide annual written reports to the faculty member, the department Chair and (where appropriate) the Program Coordinator/Division Director.
