Mentoring: Introducing the University Mentoring Scheme

Session Outline

The university has successfully offered the Mentoring Scheme for a number of years, with a focus on research mentoring led by Dr Melanie Smith at Inverness College UHI. During this time, other university wide areas of mentoring have developed including the mentoring offered through the ALPINE professional recognition framework, to support colleagues in achieving Associate/Fellow/Senior/Principal Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.
 
To support mentoring activities in these and other important areas, the university Mentoring Scheme has now been expanded to offer three distinct stands of mentoring:

Research Mentoring (strand lead Dr Melanie Smith)
Learning and Teaching Enhancement Mentoring (strand lead Ann Tilbury)
ALPINE Mentoring (strand lead Alex Walker)

The expanded mentoring scheme is being co-ordinated through the Learning and Teaching Academy.
