We are seeing the following results of our juniorfaculty cohort mentoring program:  higher retention of faculty.  better understanding of the factors that lead to the retention of faculty, by gender.  lower levels of stress and isolation reported by faculty, especially women and faculty of color, in our campus climate surveys.  positive experiences reported for both mentors and mentees (lower stress, less isolation, greater networking and community building, greater productivity).  (positive) differences in self-reported attitudes of chairs and

This effort involved obtaining copyright approval for some material, as wellas redrawing or creating new content. This was a tedious activity undertaken prior to the surveyactivity. Based on the survey data and well as the focus groups, lecture material is of moderateimportance to the user community.
