Taking Ownership of Your Mentoring

The Mentoring Continuum: From Graduate School Through Tenure, recently published, contains contributions from a variety of sources including a chapter: Taking Ownership of Your Mentoring: Lessons learned from participating in the Earth Science Women’s Network written by Mirjam Glessmer, Manda Adams, Meredith Hastings & Rebecca Barnes.

We used lessons learned through ESWN activities – in particular the mentoring map introduced to many of us via Kerry Ann Rockquemore’s presentation at an ESWN workshop on Networking and Communication in Madison, WI in 2012. Lead author, Dr. Mirjam Glessmer has a great post about the chapter on her website (in addition to a downloadable pdf);  you  can also find out more about peer mentoring, how to network to expand your mentoring network, and how a mentoring map can help you on the networking page on our site.
