Dear MWPARC members,
This July, Dr. David Muñoz of the PARC Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Task Team (DEITT) is putting on a virtual mentoring workshop that focuses on critical and inclusive mentoring techniques.
Mentorship is traditionally defined as the unidirectional passing down of skills and knowledge from mentor to mentee. While often helpful, traditional mentoring can also reinforce detrimental power dynamics or encourage conformity, stifling individuality and creativity.
In this training, we will learn how inclusive and critical mentoring frameworks change this paradigm to a holistic, mentee-centered approach. You will leave with perspectives to help guide yourself and those who you mentor.
This interactive workshop is for all PARC members interested in improving their mentoring skills, especially those interested in serving as mentors for awardees of the PARC Increasing Professional Development Award (PIPA). Attendees are asked to view a recorded lecture by David, and then participate in an interactive discussion and Q&A about the topics.
Please fill out this Doodle Poll by Thursday, July 15th to help us find the best time for those interested. The final date will be announced on Friday, July 16th.
Sincerely,
The PIPA team on behalf of the DEITT

Are their plans to have this recorded? I would love to attend the workshop but the date and times does not work with my schedule. I would be grateful if it was recorded and I could watch it at a later date.

We collectively acknowledge that we gather at NDSU, a land grant institution, on the traditional lands of the Oceti Sakowin (Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda) and Anishinaabe Peoples in addition to many diverse Indigenous Peoples still connected to these lands. We honor with gratitude Mother Earth and the Indigenous Peoples who have walked with her throughout generations. We will continue to learn how to live in unity with Mother Earth and build strong, mutually beneficial, trusting relationships with Indigenous Peoples of our region.
