Mentoring @CMU

The Offices of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Vice Provost for Education work together with the schools and colleges to help CMU's faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students engage in effective mentoring, professional development, network building, and connections with one another. 

All faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students are eligible for memberships with Academic Impressions and the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD). We also host live workshops with NCFDD, and we are developing faculty peer mentoring workshops. 

To claim your NCFDD membership, go to www.FacultyDiversity.org/Join  and select Carnegie Mellon University from the list of members. Select “Activate my Membership” and complete the registration form using your Carnegie Mellon email address (i.e., @cmu.edu or @andrew.cmu.edu). A confirmation/welcome email will include an “Activate Account” link.
