The IFO Faculty of Color Mentoring Workgroup is planning the 4th Annual Faculty of Color Mentoring Summit virtually on January 16, 2026, from 1-3 p.m. The IFO Faculty of Color Mentoring Workgroup invites session proposals from faculty of color from all disciplines. The Mentoring Summit supports the IFO Strategic Plan, with a focus on enhancing equity and inclusive opportunities for faculty.

The purpose of the Summit, guided by the theme “Mentoring for Resilience in the Changing Landscape of Higher Education,” is to provide faculty with the opportunity to share their mentoring experiences, engage in dynamic conversations, and network with colleagues from across the MinnState system to build a robust and inclusive community of support.
