Dialogue for Career Development and Achieving Mid-to-Long-Term Goals - CToP

Activity Features

  • Professors Emerit serve as neutral mentors transcending disciplines and departments, providing guidance on long-term goals and supporting Fellows’ self-reflection and performance improvement.
  • Mentor matching is based on Fellows’ preferences, including research field alignment and discussion topics. The mentoring relationship is reviewed annually to ensure continued mutual benefit.
  • If mentoring partnerships prove ineffective or scheduling becomes difficult, individual consultations are held with Fellows to resolve issues, including potential mentor reassignment.

By hearing examples from different eras, I discovered possibilities in approaches I had previously considered taboo

I had been hesitant to expand my research in a different direction from my boss, but I received the encouragement I needed to move forward
