The Career Advancement and Mentoring Guide aims to help faculty members plan their careers, advance at UM, and reach their professional goals. It also serves to inform two additional and critical community members: those who mentor faculty, and leaders responsible for supporting faculty advancement. Designed to inform advancement and mentoring initiatives, the guide compiles information and resources from various sources.
