Mentoring IT

We have identified mentoring as being an important component of success and a particular challenge for some of our members. We are therefore setting up a mentor/mentee network, *open to all*. A typical mentor/mentee pairing would a faculty member or professional in industry mentoring a graduate student or postdoc; a senior faculty or industry researcher mentoring a junior faculty or researcher. We would strongly encourage mentees to become also mentors currently or in the future. A mentor/mentee relationship will be a priori a three year one. A mentor will agree to communicating with his/her mentee roughly every month or two to provide professional advice and feedback. We also plan to have a yearly mentor/mentee breakfast at ISIT. The mentor/mentee list will be posted on our new Society web site. A mentee should be part of the IEEE IT Society for the duration of the mentoring period.

Interested Mentees

Please tell us about your interests. Note that we cannot guarantee you a particular mentor and so we do not take requests for specific mentors.
