University Report
Dean’s Office ReportEmily BouckDean’s Fellow Proposal: Mentoring
Dean’s Fellow Proposal: Mentoring
• Sought to explore a formal COE pre-tenure mentoring program or procedures – Two functions for mentoring: career-enhancing
and psychosocial (Kram, 1985)– 3 types: traditional, peer, and group (Bland et al.,
2009)• Read the research, spoke with university and
college administrators, as well as interviewed faculty within the COE (thank you)
Mentoring
• Research literature: value to mentoring (increased productivity and satisfaction)
• University exploration: no university policy– Some colleges/departments have formal
policies/procedures• COACHE survey
Mentoring • Data collected
– Pre-tenure faculty• Reported no formal mentoring programs, but some
were receiving informal mentoring• Majority willing to participate in holistic mentoring
programs with preference for two-mentees to one-or-two mentors
– Tenured faculty• Reported no formal mentoring, but informal occurred• Willing to serve as a mentor, but felt needed
institutionalization
Mentoring – Recommendations • Low-hanging fruit
– Associate Professors• Offer brown bag or open forum discussions on pathways
to promotion to full professor• Create a space for peer-to-peer mentoring
– Assistant Professors• Resource network • Create culture within college that encourages and
supports tenured faculty to actively collaborate and involve pre-tenure faculty on grants
• Arrange opportunities for across-department peer-to-peer mentoring
Mentoring – Recommendations
• More resource intensive– 2 options
• Mentoring committee – identify collection of faculty who will excel at mentoring junior faculty, provide training, and assign at least one to work with at least one new faculty (holistic mentoring)
• Mentoring mentality – pre-tenure faculty – working with department head – select two tenured faculty from within the College to serve as their mentoring committee

External Funding Activity
• We’ve had 50 grant proposals submitted so far this year. That’s a strong record of activity (but due in part to internal competitions).
• Unfortunately, actual awards for the year are only at $1.7m, which puts us well short of the $3m level we’ve hit for several consecutive years.
• Across campus, declines are up somewhat this year due to the budget situation in Washington.

• Incentive Grants
• We had one successful Category II proposal in this year’s competition. Congratulations to Helen Patrick and Youli Mantzicopoulos!
• Category I proposals (multidisciplinary) have finally been categorized and will be undergoing review shortly. There are about 10 proposals related to education research in the pool.

• OVPR Bridge Program
• New program will provide short-term funding to researchers who have had consistent funding but experience a temporary shortfall. College and department cost-sharing is required.
• F&A Policy
• Purdue’s F&A return policy has been reviewed and changes are being proposed that include a modified formula for calculating distributions and a plan to return 25% of the allocation for each account to the investigator (if that amount is greater than $500).

ADDFD Initiatives• Faculty Development
• Several grant-related workshops were offered this year, and the final one (on setting up a PIVOT profile) is today. It’s too late to get lunch, but feel free to drop in even if you didn’t sign up. We’ll continue these next year.
• Remember to see Jim Gardner for help with grant applications.
• Several faculty mentoring sessions were offered this year. Look for these to continue next year as well.
• Faculty Interest Groups
• A group focus on diversity and social justice has been meeting with a goal to develop some ideas for a college-level initiative.
• A group has also met with an interest in online learning and has suggested some initiatives for college-level support.
• New Collaborative Space (old Graduate Office)
• BRNG 6104 will be remodeled into a technology-enabled collaboration space over the summer. Plan to use it in the fall!

Graduate Education• Survey of Graduate Student Life
• General satisfaction with university/college resources, except for office or personal work space.
• General satisfaction with most elements of campus/college climate, though students do experience many stresses.
• General satisfaction with many elements of graduate life, but there were some exceptions including:
• Parking
• Support for conference attendance
• Availability of and pay for assistantships
