This course is designed to be an introduction to best practices in culturally inclusive mentoring and combines elements from multiple workshops and trainings developed at UArizona including EMMURSSD (by Dr. Sonja Lanehart), Creating Truly Inclusive Learning Environments (by Dr. Celeste Atkins, Dr. Mascha Gemein, Christina Kalel and Ana Fiero), and information from the MENTOR Institute.

By combining interactive learning, current and relevant readings, and personal reflection, the course will help learners become more culturally inclusive mentors. After this course, learners will be able to explain important concepts in culturally inclusive mentoring, describe the impact of conscious and unconscious biases on mentoring relationships, analyze their own bias and determine ways to reduce their impact in mentoring relationships, identify concrete steps to interrupt and address microaggressions, and describe various mentoring roles and the supports they might offer. At the conclusion of this course, learners will synthesize their learning to create a personal mentoring philosophy and mentoring top 10 congruent with their personal values and inclusive of evidence-based best practices.
