Research Mentor Workshops
We still have two more workshops presented by Dr. Malcolm Finney, our Multicultural Innovation Coordinator, this semester. The events are held at the Faculty Center for Professional Development, Library 5th floor. Attendance at one of these workshops will fulfill one of your faculty Build Mentoring Community (BMC) requirements. The workshops will also be offered in the Spring 2016 semester.
