UNM Mentoring Institute Holds 5th Annual Conference

The Uni­ver­sity of New Mexico’s Men­tor­ing Insti­tute, in part­ner­ship with the Inter­na­tional Men­tor­ing Asso­ci­a­tion, holds its 5th annual con­fer­ence Wednesday-Friday, Oct. 24–26 in the Stu­dent Union Build­ing ball­room on main campus.

This year’s theme “Facil­i­tat­ing Devel­op­men­tal Rela­tion­ships for Suc­cess” calls for pro­pos­als that crit­i­cally ana­lyze dif­fer­ent types of devel­op­men­tal rela­tion­ships and how they add to the long-term suc­cess and pros­per­ity of an indi­vid­ual. The con­fer­ence allows pro­fes­sion­als from a mul­ti­tude of dis­ci­plines to share valu­able insights that con­tribute to the future of mentoring.

The keynote speaker is Belle Rose Ragins, who teaches, con­sults and con­ducts research on diver­sity, men­tor­ing and gen­der issues. She has writ­ten over 100 papers for pre­sen­ta­tions at national and inter­na­tional con­fer­ences and for pub­li­ca­tion in lead­ing aca­d­e­mic journals.

The dead­line to reg­is­ter for the con­fer­ence is Fri­day, Oct. 5. For more infor­ma­tion, visit the Men­tor­ing Institute’s web­site at mentor.unm.edu.
