Anti-Bias & Microaggression Workshop

Since its launch in 1999, Massey College’s mentorship program, Meeting of Minds, has matched almost 1000 Junior Fellows with senior members of the Massey community creating valuable, mutually beneficial relationships for both mentors and mentees. The Meeting of Minds program fosters joint participation in Massey activities and provides structured opportunities for collaboration to realize the College’s aim to nurture learning and serve the public good.
I have already mentored at Massey College twice and it has been a phenomenal learning experience for me. Passing on my own learnings and revisiting my professional journey when mentoring a young scholar, always entails listening and learning first, then adapting my experience to new needs and context and hence relearning all-over again. It is a fantastic exercise.
Creation of a structured and trusting relationship with a leader in their field offering guidance, networking and professional opportunities, focused but not limited to, career development.
Opportunity to build a trusting relationship and work with bright young scholars, practice leadership and communication skills, get to know new people and experiences, and discover and contribute to the Massey College community.
In order to enrich the experience of both mentors and mentees, the Meeting of Minds program features several types of mentorship experiences:
One-on-one: Mentor and mentee, matched by the program administrator, meet on a regular basis (2 hours/month) either in-person or virtually, based on their needs and comfort level.
Group mentoring: Meetings of 1 or 2 mentors meet with a group of up to 4 mentees to discuss topics of mutual interest.
Group programming: Mentees and mentors are invited to various activities that range from leadership development, to academic preparation, to social networking.
Group mentoring and group programming activities will be developed in partnership with the Science@Massey program and Chair Barbara Sherwood Lollar (barbara.sherwoodlollar@utoronto.ca).
