ACCESS Mentoring Program

  • Sign up to serve as a faculty mentor to an incoming student for their first year at UNT. You may request to work with students of a particular background (minority, first generation, international, etc.), if you wish.  Faculty or staff with at least one year of service at UNT may apply.

Non-UNT Networks

1. National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity

An independent professional development, training, and mentoring community that offers workshops, courses, and mentoring programs for faculty across disciplines. UNT faculty may sign up for an institutional membership using their UNT email.

2. American Association of University Professors (AAUP)

Deals with issues of special concern to HBIs and to minority faculty members in general. Focuses on affirmative action & diversity and outreach to faculty at minority serving institutions.
