MAA News – Mentoring at the MAA Annual Meeting

shieldThe Graduate Student Committee of the Medieval Academy of America invites those attending the Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy to participate in the MAA Graduate Student Mentorship Program. The program facilitates networking between graduate students and established scholars by pairing a student and scholar according to discipline. One need not be a member of the Medieval Academy to participate.

The mentorship exchanges are meant to help students establish professional contacts with scholars who can offer them career advice. The primary objective of this mentoring exchange is that the relationship be active during the conference, although mentors and mentees sometimes decide to continue communication after a conference has ended.

To volunteer as a mentor (faculty and independent scholars only) or to sign up as a mentee, please submit this online form: GSC Mentoring Form.

For the Medieval Academy of America meeting (March 12-14 at Notre Dame), the deadline to sign up is Friday, February 6.
