Faculty Mentor Program

The Faculty Professional Development Committee (FPDC), Division of OLE, and eLearning are proud to collaborate to offer the TCC faculty mentorship program.

Goals:

Over the years, the program has evolved, but no matter what "shape" it takes, the following goals are at the forefront:

  • Orient new full-time and adjunct faculty to the TCC work environment in an open and supportive manner.
  • Foster healthy, collegial relationships and a fuller understanding of the scope of a faculty member's responsibilities.
  • Foster meaningful dialogue on the faculty role in student learning and success.
  • Create a pairing of new and veteran faculty members that is mutually beneficial to both parties.
  • Foster the professional development of new faculty via open communication between mentors and mentees with ongoing support from OLE Professional Development department.
  • Provide emotional and professional support in challenging situations.
  • Provide a positive, professional and reflective experience that honors the mission and values of the College.

If you have questions, please direct them to the Melisa Ziegler, Coordinator of Organizational Learning.
