New Faculty Peer Mentoring

Beginning in the Fall of 2026, the Faculty Peer Mentoring Program supports new and early-career faculty as they develop their teaching practice within our unique learning community of art, design, media, and liberal arts and sciences education.

The program pairs faculty members for one academic year to foster collaboration, reflective teaching, and a sense of belonging. 

This initiative relies on the current faculty to step forward to mentor new and junior faculty members. Interested in being a mentor? Please speak to your chair or director and send an email to jgerritygomez@mica.edu to find out more about mentor training, requirements and expected outcomes. 

Mentoring focuses on teaching—not evaluation. Our goal is to nurture a culture where faculty learn from one another, experiment, and grow.
