AWIS Mentoring Program, applications open until Aug. 8

[Ann Skoczenski]

Please find below information about a mentoring program from the Massachusetts Chapter of the Association for Women in Science.

The Mentoring Circles Program is an award-winning program matching together senior and junior scientists, to form circles that meet once a month (September to May) to discuss career goals, managing different career paths, and building skills and lasting connections within the bustling Boston scientific community. Meetings are usually held in person, but this year the program will start online, and each circle can decide on changes as the year progresses.

Our mentors are experienced professionals that work in academia and industry as either scientists or in other carrier paths. You will be matched to your mentors and co-mentees according to your background, your stated goals in joining the program, and other preferences included in the application.

Please apply here by Aug. 8th:
