The New Faculty Career Guide: Self-Mentorship for Accelerated Growth and Development

By Jodi Pilgrim and Brenda Morton

This hands-on resource supports the development of new faculty through a self-mentoring model, offering opportunities to reflect on and plan for teaching effectiveness, scholarship, and university and professional service.

Built on a foundation of collaboration and self-improvement, this book walks readers through the role of the college professor, covering a range of skills and responsibilities including developing course material, publishing journal articles, serving on committees, attending conferences, writing proposals for grants, and more. Each chapter features real-world case studies and mentoring moment activities for guided reflection.

Made eminently practical with sample CVs, tenure and promotion documentation, and syllabi, this guidebook is essential reading for prospective, first-year, and early-career faculty.
