Online Instructor Mentor Program (2021-2022)
New undergraduate online instructors, whether full-time or adjunct, participate in the Online Instructor Mentoring Program (OIMP) where they receive one-on-one peer mentoring throughout their first term teaching. Faculty mentors volunteer & serve in the specific discipline and modality in which they teach when possible. This program is virtual as mentors are located across the country. The OIMP provides opportunities to mentors for professional development where mentors connect & collaborate.
