Faculty Mentoring Program

To support women faculty research, and particularly junior and women of color faculty, the G+JI launched a Faculty Mentoring Program during the pandemic that consists of pairing Georgetown senior faculty with junior faculty who work on similar issues across campuses and disciplines.
The Program provides exchange, collaboration and support between scholars as well as practical advice on dealing with personal and academic challenges.
