Skills And Strategies For White Faculty Mentoring Underrepresented Racial And Ethnic Groups.

There are different concepts, processes and tasks for white faculty to learn and engage in as they take on the role of mentors for mentees of color. It is important this work be done in white affinity groups so mentees of color don't have to take on the responsibility of educating their mentors on issues of white racial identity development, white privilege and white fragility.

This presentation will cover a model on this work and leave white faculty with increased capacity for this essential role. Discussion and dialogue will follow.
