CEE Graduate Student Mentorship and Managing Conflict
Mentoring is defined as a close relationship between a graduate student and a faculty member who provides guidance, support and research advice in an individualized manner. Graduate Council recognizes that the mentoring of graduate students by faculty is an integral part of the graduate experience for both.

Potential Conflicts
Conflict with mentors can happen at any time during your academic career. The aim of this resource guide is to help our students understand the people they can talk to and resources they can use when conflict arises. Below, we outline a typical progression of elevating the conflict management to various levels. However, please note that the student has the right to decide who they feel comfortable talking to, and may choose to escalate their concerns with the department and other campus resources at their discretion.
Confidentiality: Please also note there are some offices on campus that are confidential, and other offices/people who are mandated to report certain issues, including but not limited to: child and elder abuse, certain crimes on and around campus, sexual harassment and sexual violence, and threats to self and others. If you have any questions about which resources are confidential, please see the list below and feel free to ask the Graduate Program Coordinator for clarification.
