Mentor Teams:
Each group has a senior member of the faculty, a faculty member in the second or third year of service to the University and one or two new members of the faculty. No member of the Team should be from the same department. Teams typically have three or four members. Each group has a Team Leader who is asked to call the first meeting, schedule subsequent meetings and tend to a modest agenda.

Program Goals:
1. To help new faculty learn the social and professional expectations and practices of the faculty and students at Susquehanna University in a safe and personal environment;
2. To provide a vehicle in which issues of teaching, learning, service and scholarship as they exist both in the Susquehanna community and the broader reaches of academe can be discussed.

Time Commitment:
Preferred meeting pattern for Mentor/Team is once a week during the first month; twice a month in the second month; once a month for the balance of the year; but the frequency of meeting is established by the mentor/team;

Resources:
1. $100 per semester for team leader as a resource for the purchase of material and to fund dinners, lunches;
2. Key to Center for Teaching and Learning Office in the Library for use by team; available at Circulation Desk;
3. Periodic suggestions about topics that might be covered and considered by the Team.
