Kickstart your week with the Monday Morning Mentor program, designed specifically for higher education instructors. This unique professional development series offers fast, dynamic, and convenient learning opportunities that address some of the most pressing issues in academia today.
Every Monday, instructors will receive an email link to a 20-minute on-demand video session, packed with focused, actionable insights. These sessions, led by respected academic peers, are available for on-demand viewing from Monday morning through Sunday night, allowing you the flexibility to engage with the content at a time that suits your schedule.
With a new program released each week for 16 weeks in both the fall and spring semesters, Monday Morning Mentor ensures that faculty stay informed and inspired throughout the academic year. Supplemental materials, including PowerPoint slides and transcripts, are also provided, making it easy to revisit key points and integrate new ideas into your courses.
Explore the spring 2024 schedule and join a community of educators committed to continuous improvement. Whether you watch individually or with colleagues, Monday Morning Mentor is an excellent resource for staying ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of higher education.
All active instructors will automatically receive an email each Monday with a link to the content for that week. If you are not receiving these emails and would like to, please use the link below to subscribe.
Program videos will only be available for one week, but past supplemental materials such as PowerPoints or transcripts will remain accessible throughout the semester. Use the link below to request access to our Monday Morning Mentor UB Learns course.
Program videos are only available for one week at a time, from Monday morning until the following Sunday night. We are unable to provide access to videos after each program closes.
