| Mentoring Guidance for Faculty members AIM (Advancing Inclusive Mentoring) is offering this training program Advancing Inclusive Mentoring (AIM): A Mentor Training Program Tailored for Faculty Members of Undergrad Researchers. The AIM program is a mentor training program developed at CA State University Long Beach (CSULB) as part of the NIH Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Initiative. The overarching goals of AIM are to provide a variety of engaging faculty training resources to promote student success through positive and inclusive mentoring, particularly for mentors of undergrad research students. Because student involvement in high impact practices such as research, scholarly, and creative activities boost student success – particularly when associated with strong mentorship, learning the best practices for mentoring is a critical component of facilitating student success. CSULB BUILD's innovative mentor training program, tailored for mentors of undergrad students, builds off of NRMN/CIMER programs, and is now available to all National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) members on MyNRMN. The AIM Program consists of 35 videos across six learning modules that ideally are accompanied by six synchronous discussions to build a community of practice around mentoring on your campus. AIM provides videos featuring faculty and staff members from around the CSULB campus who share tips and ideas on best practices in mentoring, along with re-enactments of student/professor scenarios that are based on real mentoring stories collected from the CSULB campus community.
