Abstract
This chapter will explore the author's own (eventually successful) journey to and through mid-career in academe as a woman and a mother, while offering some advice for mentoring that can help lead to success for individuals and campuses. In particular, the author will offer individual strategies toward scholarship success and promotion, while also outlining the ways specific mid-career mentoring programming can be offered in a university setting. The author's experience as both a faculty mentoring program coordinator and a faculty fellow running a virtual mid-career mentoring program will be utilized to suggest the types of activities and supports that can help any academic in mid-career realize their goals.
