Student FIGURE 1: Key contributors to a successful mentoring program. There are also peer mentoring programs available. Many of these programs are tailored tohelp incoming students get involved with research early. For example, the Office of UndergraduateResearch (OUR) peer mentor (PM) program [10] at the University of Nevada is a year-longprogram that pairs freshmen with students who have prior research experience. OUR PM hasvirtual research readiness workshops on lab safety, writing a research paper, and preparing aneffective poster presentation [10]. Similarly, Kennesaw State University (KSU) has a peerambassador program [11] to support UREs. They work with students who are accepted to the first-year scholars’ program. The first

Reflecting on initial discussions with colleagues, he recalled, “We weresaying, ‘The students had poor technical writing and they’re not getting better. What can wedo?’” These conversations revealed a lack of understanding about teaching technical writingeffectively. He explained, “We realized we don’t really understand how to teach technical writingand that we need to

The uniquecomponent of this program is the amount of time spent practicing teaching in front ofexperienced instructors and peers. The structure, content and research basis of the NFO programis described in this paper. In this study, post-NFO measures of instructor self-efficacy werecollected using the College Teaching Self-Efficacy (CTSE) Scale and results are presented.CTSE survey results showed that the new faculty rated themselves confident in instructionalplanning (3.69/5.0), instructional delivery (4.22/5.0), classroom management (4.38/5.0) andassessment (3.93/5.0).

Additionally, they meetwith the instructor outside of class, either weekly or biweekly, and meet in groups with peers andprogram facilitators for mentorship, reflection, and guidance. Students are recruited primarily byword of mouth. This includes recommendations from instructors, students in the program, andstaff members who work directly with students and have attended presentations about theprogram (including our academic success center, academic advisors, and cultural center staff).When students express interest, we interview them to help them

Throughout this phase, faculty receive ongoing supportthrough both the instructor of the program as well as peer collaboration through the cohort.
