Hello MIT Postdocs,

This is being forwarded at the request of a fellow postdoc, Lydia 
Bourouiba, who participated to this group last year and found it 
beneficial. AWIS is the Association for Women in Science.

> *What is an AWIS Mentoring Circle?*
>
> A Mentoring Circle consists of 3-5 women with a scientific background 
> who are committed to meeting monthly to support one another with 
> advice, encouragement, and information. Each circle will be 
> coordinated and aided by at least one experienced mentor and one 
> connector.
>
>
> *Who will be in my circle?*
>
> The MASS AWIS mentoring committee will review submitted surveys and 
> match you with a circle based on interest, career goals, geography, 
> and other factors.
>
> **
>
> *What will we talk about? Are we just going to sit around and complain?*
>
> The mentoring circle is a mechanism for sharing frustrations with 
> peers but the focus is on career growth and problem solving in a 
> supportive environment. The group will decide how it wants to handle 
> the schedule, but MASS AWIS will provide you with a sourcebook of 
> ideas and articles to help start conversation. All participants should 
> be willing to both give and get professional and personal support from 
> other talented women in the scientific community. Mentors will help 
> guide and promote productive discussions in the circle.
