Advising individual students—as M.A. thesis students, as mentees in programs like Mellon-Mayes, as students registered in independent studies—is a crucial part of what we do as educators. But the craft of mentoring often gets less attention than it should, since attention to the details can be the difference between time-efficient and harmonious collaboration and … the other kinds. We will hear from a range of panelists with experience as readers of theses, program mentors, coordinators of graduate programs, and instructors in independent studies, with an eye to what makes collaborations work best for both faculty and students.
