| Abstract The mentoring of developing artist-teachers, as well as junior faculty, is an established and accepted norm in today’s colleges and universities. Equally important, but not as commonly addressed, is the need to mentor senior faculty members. Building upon the foundation of presentations held during the CMS Conferences of 2004 (San Francisco) and 2005 (Quebec City), which were geared towards early-career faculty and mid-career faculty members, respectively, this presentation addresses the particular challenges faced by senior faculty members – individuals with substantive professional experience and who may be nearer the end of their professional careers than at the beginning. Topics to be addressed by panelists include: recognizing and celebrating the contributions of senior faculty, assisting these faculty members with transitions and renewal, examining issues of productivity and why senior faculty member may “stall,” and using creativity to develop new, rewarding opportunities. |
