Mentors

HTI Mentors, thank you for answering the call and for your willingness to support HTI Scholars throughout their doctorate. Your service and commitment is what makes the HTI En Conjunto model a best practice program at graduating Latine PhD students and helping them thrive in their respective leadership positions.

HTI Mentors support Latine Ph.D. students in the First, Second, and Comprehensive Exam Years of their doctorate. Individuals selected to mentor must be tenured faculty, and/or have seven years or more of teaching experience, and available to mentor for a period of up to three years.  All HTI Mentors are expected to attend the HTI Mentoring Training at the HTI Professional Development Conference.  HTI training ensures that HTI Mentors understand HTI’s En Conjunto Mentoring program and are well equipped to support the HTI Scholar through their doctoral journey.  At the Mentor’s Training, HTI Mentors will also have an opportunity to meet their mentees and begin their mentoring relationship. Additionally, the mentee and the HTI Mentor will coordinate a mentor’s visit to the institution and include the advisor and faculty to partner with them in being responsive to the student’s particular needs and interests.

If you would like to be considered as a future HTI mentor, please fill out the application form.
