We are currently seeking participants for the Committee on Race and Ethnicity’s (CoRE) mentorship program. This is an opportunity for junior scholars/students (mentees) to seek guidance from senior scholars on career development. Based on information voluntarily provided by each participant, the co-chairs of CoRE will pair mentees and mentors based on alignment in professional background, identity, research interests or other details that gathered from a brief form. We envision that the formal mentoring relationship will emphasize professional and intellectual development that will last one year. The mentee is encouraged to establish goals and desired outcomes for their participation in the program and communicate these directly with the mentor early within the mentorship period to maximize the effectiveness of both party’s participation. After one year, insights which may generalized to benefit all SMT members may be shared with the committee and, we hope, the mentee and mentor will continue to be connected and collaborate. We particularly encourage past mentees to serve as mentors in this rejuvenated program!
To express your interest in participating, please fill out the form appropriate to your intended role (mentee or mentor). We cannot guarantee that all those who express interest will be successfully paired for mentorship as we cannot estimate participation for this reestablishment of the program.
We thank past CoRE members, notably Clifton Boyd, for their efforts in creating this program and glad to be offering it again this year.
