About:
The CFDA, under the leadership of Associate Professor Dr. Soumia Bardhan, is launching Belonging, Becoming, and Beyond (BBB), a mentoring initiative designed to support the growth, confidence, and sense of belonging of all faculty, particularly early‑career and international faculty.
Participants in this featured session will engage in a series of brief, meaningful conversations with multiple mentors and leave with a personalized “mentor map” highlighting new connections, insights, and resources to support their professional journey.
During the event, participants will rotate among tables aligned with their interests, where mentors will be available to discuss specific topics and address questions.
Speed‑mentoring tables/topics will include:
- Improving Boundaries & Work–Life Integration
- International Faculty
- Early‑Career Faculty
- Student Success
- Research Development & Productivity
- Teaching Strategies
- Demystifying Leadership Positions
- Flourishing & Thriving at CU Denver
After the event, faculty may choose to join the Bridge Mentorship Program, which provides deeper, individualized support through thoughtfully matched colleagues and flexible, growth‑focused guidance.
Together, these opportunities are designed to expand professional networks, build confidence, and cultivate a sustainable mentoring culture rooted in community and care. Faculty of all ranks and roles are warmly encouraged to participate.
