The University of Pittsburgh Office of the Provost Presents:

2026 Mentoring and Advising Summit

About the 2026 Mentoring and Advising Summit 


At the University of Pittsburgh, advising and mentoring are integral to our educational mission as we advocate for collaborative and holistic advising interactions. Through the ninth annual Mentoring and Advising Summit, we will continue to cultivate a strong culture of student success as we convene mentors, advisors, coaches, faculty, and administrators from around the globe to discuss new trends and best practices in mentoring and advising. 

 

During this virtual summit, participants will engage with and learn about specific tools, techniques, theories, and concepts to support undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs as we provide systems of academic support to help all learners understand what is possible at our institutions of higher education.  

 

Timely Topics and Innovative Questions  

 

How might we cultivate #studentsuccess networks and boost student outcomes? 

What are the possibilities to leverage #technology tools as critical elements in our intervention strategies?  

In what ways could we deepen awareness of #collaboration across our systems of academic support? 

How might we scale #holistic mentoring and advising approaches or theories across our campuses?  

In what ways do we develop #leadership capacity in our students, faculty, or staff to provide opportunities or build skills?  

What are the possibilities for building a sense of #belonging for all students on our campuses? 

 

Who Should Participate? 

Any faculty member, staff member, administrator, graduate student, postdoc, or researcher who advises, mentors, or coaches undergraduate students, graduate students, or postdocs.
