This program will support career development and provide networking opportunities. Mentees will be paired with a mid-career or senior scholar and have the opportunity to discuss scholarship, handling new roles as a faculty member, finding an academic position and/or navigating tenure, funding, teaching, and more.
Individuals who are accepted into the ST&D Mentorship program will be invited to attend a catered lunch with their mentors at the 2023 ST&D Annual Meeting. The lunch will occur on Wednesday, June 28th from 13:00-14:30 PM, immediately after the DSCA address.
