Mentorship for success
The KAUST Faculty Mentorship program supports faculty of all ranks in reaching their potential, sharing their knowledge and creating a culture of excellence. The program facilitates the full mentorship journey for both mentors and mentees. It supports faculty-driven mentorship initiatives, trains mentors, and prepares mentees.
