Mentor/Mentee Interest Form


4S, together with the student section (6S), is involved in ongoing efforts to mentor new faculty and students. The goal of the project is to facilitate mentoring of individuals who are new to the conference and/or to the Society. A mentoring relationship assumes a minimum of one conversation at the annual meeting and two phone calls or meetings during the following 12 months.  We will match scholars at different stages of their careers and make an effort to assign mentors outside of one’s university but within one’s country/region to make telephone contact affordable. We hope that the mentoring project will allow new students and faculty to feel more at home in the 4S community.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the information below and we will contact you in the coming months regarding the logistics of the program in Montreal.

We encourage anyone who is signing up to be a mentee to consider being both a mentor and mentee.  Even if you are a graduate student, you may still be a useful mentor to a less senior graduate student. Those who volunteer to serve as both a mentor and mentee will receive priority when we match mentors and mentees.
