Programs and Resources for Faculty and Staff

Michigan Mentoring Initiative: Based on the NSF-funded ADVANCE research project for improving the recruitment and retention of faculty, we are assisting Associate Dean Alec Gallimore and a faculty committee as they develop a program to enhance doctoral student mentoring on the STRIDE model.

Promising Practices: We are developing a clearinghouse of promising practices and resource materials from the successful efforts of graduate programs here at the University of Michigan as well as others across the United States. Topics include first-year orientation, building community, professional development for graduate students, and preparing students for candidacy.

Recruitment: Our efforts to recruit students for Rackham degree programs are centered on the recognition that each program has different needs. Our goal is to provide collaborative support for degree programs through improved use of funds and other resources. We continue our commitment to attracting a highly qualified, diverse student community. Learn more about how we can facilitate effective recruiting for your degree program.
