👩🏾‍💼gwaMIT Mentoring Program👩🏾‍💼

Apply by: Monday, September 26

Registration: Link<https://forms.gle/a8HEH88d2upcZz6V7>

With the start of the semester, the gwaMIT Mentoring Program has opened applications for womxn graduate students to be matched with a mentor. In the program, you will be matched with a mentoring group of up to three graduate students and a mentor from industry or academia. Most of our mentors are women and MIT alumni, and mentoring groups talk about everything from picking a lab and finding a job to imposter syndrome and mental health!

Graduate women mentees are encouraged to meet with their mentoring group every month and we host several events throughout the semester to foster a community between womxn in the Boston region and beyond. This year we will host both larger group virtual events and hold smaller in-person events.

Please email gwaMITmentoring at gmail.com<mailto:gwaMITmentoring at gmail.com> if you have any questions or want more info.

Mentees will be able to enter preferences for mentors based on mentor profiles that will be distributed soon. Mentees will be given priority in selecting a mentor in the order you fill out the above survey, so please don’t wait!

Acroyoga Beginner Series (6 weeks)

When: September 15 - October 20, Thursdays 6 - 7:30pm

Where: Killian Court (Rain/Cold: inside Z Center in the Dupont Lower Matted Court)

Registration: Link<https://forms.gle/pnQqTeuPH1DiQ5P2A>

What is Acroyoga?

Acroyoga is a communication practice disguised as a partner movement practice. The physical aspect combines yoga and acrobatics. This class is a great place to start, whether you’ve never tried acro before or you’re returning to it after some time away. We’ll go over the 3 key roles (base, flier, spotter), refine the fundamentals and learn how to transition smoothly & gracefully.

Feel free to bring a friend to class but it's not necessary to participate. You’ll leave the class with more friends than when you arrived!

This class is covered by funding from the MIT Office of Graduate Education so there is no cost to you. You can try anything once right? Especially if it's free! Join us even if you can’t make it to all the classes!

For questions please contact us at acroyoga-admin at mit.edu<mailto:acroyoga-admin at mit.edu>

Follow them on social media: Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/mit.acro/> (@mit.acro) and Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/groups/1882939961870753/>.
