Tuesday, October 24, 2000 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 3 Faculty advises grad students By Jennifer Valadez writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Having a mentor may be one of the most important steps in making the transition from student to teacher. That's one of the tips University of Kansas graduate students preparing to be faculty heard yesterday from KU professors and administrators during the "Transitioning From Graduate School to the Professorate" panel discussion. The discussion was part of the "Preparing Future Faculty" graduate school fall workshop. The panel of four faculty members shared experiences and addressed issues vital to the transition from graduate school to the professorate. Some of the topics included research grant funds, the importance of mentorships and understanding departmental culture. Sandra Gautt, assistant provost, introduced the session's panelists as a "group that's looking at life after the dissertation." Suzanne Boyd, assistant professor of social welfare, said a mentor relationship served as a valuable asset to her while she attended graduate school. "I had a strong mentorship to guide me through the process," Boyd said. "It was a critical piece of shaping the positive experience I'm having at KU." Shane Lopez, assistant professor of pre-psychology and research in education, agreed that having a strong mentor relationship was vital during the graduate years. "You have to get a mentor, someone who inspires you." Lopez said. "You need to make mentoring relationships work." Nathan Kolarik, Bellevue, Neb. graduate student, said the panel opened his eyes about professional expectations. Kolarik is studying to be a professor of religious studies. "It's all going to be quite a bit of work," he said. "Certainly, I'm going to have to think more about teaching and its importance." Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school, said the workshop had been very successful and that, out of the 120 registered participants, 75 attended. Carlin was pleased with the response to keynote speaker Orlando Taylor, dean of the graduate school at Howard University in Washington, D.C. "What pleased me was the attentiveness and enthusiasm that people had for Dr. Taylor's speech this morning." she said. "I hope, as a university, we can have dialogue about the program and participate in it." Carlin said. Carlin said Taylor covered the "Preparing Future Faculty" program for which the KU workshop was named. The goal of the program, which has been adopted at 295 universities and colleges nationwide, is to provide guidance to graduate students through mentoring and direct, personal experience with diverse institutions. Carlin added that the workshop was a worthwhile opportunity for graduate students to learn from experienced faculty. "This is a time when graduate students can hear things they need to start asking questions about," she said. - Edited by Amy Randolph shoes checkbooks key roo SELECTED Brighton Shoes Suggested Retail 50% OFF *292 Mass * Downtown Lawrence* *proposed sequestration structure* - 18-55 years of age au Marché the European market 10 W. 9th St. 855-805-878 Get what you want, get it cheap...
