Setting Up Relationships for Success: Mentoring CompactsSeveral graduate programs, such as the one at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, have created a mentoring compact template for their faculty and graduate students to complete annually and submit to the program chair. Mentoring compacts explicitly outline expectations for communication and meetings, work hours and projects, research milestones, and career exploration. By collecting mentoring compacts from faculty and graduate students, graduate programs ensure those conversations happen and continue to occur annually as the relationship evolves.

Then I read a section in one of the books that featured a long line of photos of a woman making various expressions—transitioning slowly from a sad face to an angry one. A study at the University of Wisconsin showed these pictures to children who had not experienced abuse, then to children who had. The abused kids thought that more of these photos presented an angry threat than the children from normal homes did. They were hyperalert to even the smallest twinges in facial expressions.

And companies that use transportation have to pass those increases on to someone, said Moses Altesch, a lecturer for the Marketing Department inside UW-Madison’s School of Business. Altesch is also the president of Madison-based business consulting firm Moses Altesch Consulting. “Trucks that move product from manufacturing plants to retailers and wholesalers … they are incurring extra costs,” said Altesch, who has written extensively about current affairs in the energy market. “If the manufacturer can’t ship product because the transportation company needs to get paid more money … the store isn’t going to sell the product. That increases prices across the board for a variety of products.
