What is the program about?
The mentorship program, which is open to all PRD members, including graduate students, provides an outlet for both mentors and mentees to discuss a wide variety of topics, including teaching, research, job searches, and the tenure process. Pairs will be made based on shared personal interests, backgrounds, research, teaching, and other key characteristics shared within the application.

When do I meet my mentor/mentee?
Individuals will be notified in late July regarding their pairing. Pairs are invited to attend The Plank Center’s Mentorship Coffee Hour at AEJMC on Thursday, August 7th at 8:30 am to meet with their mentors/mentees. More details will be sent to each pair as we get closer to the date. Please note that attending this event is suggested (not mandatory) to participate in the program.
