I've always wondered about this - why don't people see that if their student or "mentee" does brilliantly, it reflects brilliantly on them and doesn't detract from them? <BR/><BR/>And, app crit, you've got me thinking about self-mentoring!Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033740943173352249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-1149919110982272512006-06-09T22:58:00.000-07:002006-06-09T22:58:00.000-07:00Feminist mentoring, or lack thereof, is one of my ...Feminist mentoring, or lack thereof, is one of my big--biggest--beefs. If women would mentor women, really mentor them, the world could be a changed place. But too many of them can't believe they've arrived enough to not see other women as a threat, and this hurts everybody. Your mentor sounds great, and that means you'll be great too. Carry on the good fight.Sfrajetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028612571210445296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-1149804982514190682006-06-08T15:16:00.000-07:002006-06-08T15:16:00.000-07:00Now equals...spot on.

Impossible to realize fully, but it punctuates a rite of passage.<BR/><BR/>One of the challenges I'm facing in junior faculty life is becoming my own mentor. The practice at Mediocre U. is to appoint two faculty 'mentors' to junior colleagues. Foolishly I trusted them readily upon assuming this position, more or less expecting the same 'mentorship' that I enjoyed when a graduate. This, however, proved not to be the case.<BR/><BR/>One of the last bit o' wisdom my advisor gave me was: "Soon enough you'll have graduates to keep you distracted, and you'll be too busy to phone me." This was said in the best of humour. <BR/><BR/>Your mentor has given you a sterling example to follow.<BR/><BR/>CheersApp Crithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585269635212309400noreply@blogger.com
