Mentoring Team
When a new tenure-track faculty member comes to Berea College, the Division Chair constitutes a mentoring team of at least two faculty members from within the division. Whenever possible, one team member will be in the same discipline as the new faculty appointee. The Division Chair is a member of the mentoring team for the new faculty member and may continue on the appointee’s mentoring team even beyond one’s term as chair. Over the course of a probationary appointment, mentoring team membership may change as a result of consultations among the faculty member, mentoring team, Division Chair, and the Academic Vice President and Dean of the Faculty.
