This series of six 90-minute panel discussions will feature academic library leaders from across New York State discussing various topics relevant to new and emerging leaders. Panelists represent a wide variety of academic institutions and provide a diverse set of experiences. As part of each session, participants will have opportunities to network with other new and emerging leaders through breakout rooms and small group discussions in addition to the larger panel discussion. These sessions will not be recorded.

Join us for the next event in this series, Impactful Mentoring! Many librarians can point to a mentor who significantly impacted their careers. Sometimes these are found through formal mentor programs or through other strategies. This session will focus on the goals of mentorship and how to create effective mentor/mentee relationships.

Topics discussed may include:
– Goals of the mentorship relationship: professional/organizational acclimation, career development, leadership development, etc.
– How to build a successful mentoring relationship.
– Types of external support needed for a successful mentoring relationship.
– How to find a good mentor
– How to know when it is time to end a mentorship.

Panelists: Melissa Jadlos (St. John Fisher University); Curtis Kendrick (Binghamton University); Carol-Anne Germain (University at Albany)

Facilitator: Carey Hatch (University at Albany)
