The Graduate School invites all graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to attend the Fall 2026 Mentor Up Workshops.  “Mentor Up” is similar to “Managing Up” from the business world.  It refers to the proactive approach where mentees take an active role in guiding and enhancing the mentoring relationship with their mentors. The curriculum is adapted from the University of Wisconsin’s Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER). Offered through six workshops, the curriculum is designed to address some of the challenges and concerns that mentees might encounter throughout their career. In this mentor up series, mentees will develop the knowledge and skills to proactively and effectively address these challenges and navigate their mentoring relationships and career progression. Mentor Up: Building Research Self-Efficacy Self-efficacy is the perceived confidence people have in their ability to perform. Increasing your research self-efficacy can increase the likelihood that you will successfully perform tasks, pursue a research career, and make important contributions to your field. This session is designed to provide scholars the knowledge and skills to: 1) define self-efficacy and it sources; 2) identify signs of self-efficacy; 3) build your own self-efficacy; 4) assess the influence of others on your research self-efficacy; and 5) devise strategies to support others’ research self-efficacy.  RSVP: https://gradconnect.nd.edu/register/?id=7da9b99a-9336-46a9-9368-dcb14bef29a9
