Mentoring
Overview:
SEQUINS will be accepting applications for both Mentor and Mentee position
If you are interested in becoming a mentor or a mentee, please email us at info@s-equi-ns.org.
You will be paired based on your indicated goals, interests, preferred frequency of meetings, etc.
Mentorship can address any topic relevant to the mentor/mentee dyad .
Mentors:
Mentors are usually Fellows or Regular members but exceptions can be made for interested Postdoctoral Fellows and Affiliate members with relevant expertise and mentee needs
Mentees:
Mentees are Student or Affiliate members.
Regular members may apply to be a mentee and may be matched if an appropriately experienced mentor can be found.
Mentees - please let us know what area of focus is most important to you so that we can best match you with a mentor
Expectations:
Mentors and mentees are expected to meet for a 12-month period within the context of the Mentorship Program, but mentorship may continue outside of the mentorship program if dyads are interested
We will provide written materials and hold a virtual meeting to discuss structure, expectations, and goal setting and to answer questions prior to dyads beginning their work together
Frequency and duration of the meetings are left to each dyad to decide but we suggest at least once a month; some dyads can meet every two weeks or every week
Mentors and mentees will be asked to provide feedback at the 6-month and 12-month marks.
