The Office of Faculty Development (OFD) believes that personal connections are essential for thriving mentoring relationships. We host a series of events and workshops for faculty to connect with new mentors/mentees and learn new skills for supportive communication. The workshop topics vary, and some are offered on a continual basis or by request. We are always interested in your suggestions. Email OFD@mssm.edu to let us know how we can help.
