Mentoring

All new ACC faculty, both full-time and adjunct, must be assigned a mentor during their first semester at ACC (Administrative Rule 4.0502.06). Any other faculty member may be assigned a mentor at the discretion of the department chairs or upon the faculty member’s request. Contact your department for more specific information on obtaining a mentor. Read more details about the mentoring program.

As part of mentoring support, Faculty Development maintains a list of ACC faculty who have completed the Faculty Mentor Training and are prepared to mentor fellow faculty.
