This webinar presents a case study of a doctoral student mentoring program implemented by the School of Library & Information Science at the University of South Carolina during 2011. While designed to introduce students to academic life, the mentoring program emerged as a tool for developing doctoral student teaching skills.  The presenter will discuss best practices for starting a mentoring program, describe the challenges and rewards of the program, and provide specific examples of program successes.  The discussion will include suggestions for taking the initiative to participate in mentor/mentee activities even if a particular educational agency does not have a formal mentoring program in place.  Participants will leave the session with a better understanding of mentoring programs as tools for developing teaching skills.
