University of Montana: Indigenous Mentoring Program
Office of Organizational Learning and Development’s (OOLD) professional development Series
Each fall semester, the University of Montana’s Office of Organizational Learning and Development’s (OOLD) professional development series offers the Indigenous Mentoring Program (IMP). This two-part workshop series is available to faculty, graduate students, administrators, and staff who currently mentor, or are interested in mentoring, Indigenous students. Attendees engage in facilitated sessions with a number of presenters who will share knowledge about cultural humility, establishing and sustaining healthy mentor-mentee relationships, and campus and community-wide services and programs available for Indigenous students. The workshop will also focus on Indigenous research methodologies, best practices for disseminating research in Native communities, and Indigenous mentoring practices.
Please register in advance. As this is a two-part workshop series, we highly encourage attending both sessions. We recommend in-person participation for those who can make it; contact jasminezink.laine@mso.umt.edu to request remote participation via Zoom.
