MPSA 2022-2023 Academic Year-Long Mentoring Program

Each year, the MPSA invites faculty members to serve as volunteer mentors to mid-career faculty (tenured but not full professor), junior faculty, contingent faculty, PhDs holding non-academic positions, and graduate students nearing PhD completion in the Academic Year-Long Mentoring Program. If selected for the program, mentees will work remotely (via phone or video chat) with a faculty mentor in a structured format over the academic year. MPSA staff matches one mentee per mentor based on the information provided by both parties. The total time commitment is approximately 10 hours. You must be an MPSA member to participate.

The deadline for mentors and mentees to apply to participate in the 2022-2023 Academic Year-Long Mentoring Program has passed. 

What is the timeline for those accepted to the Mentoring Program?

In mid-August both parties will receive a notification containing names, contact information, and CVs. Mentees will be asked to reach out to their mentor within one week to establish contact and begin coordination of an initial meeting to establish expectations (using an MPSA-provided template).

Not all applicants will be paired with a mentor for this year’s program. Preference will be given to mid-career faculty, junior faculty, contingent faculty, PhDs holding non-academic positions, and graduate students nearing PhD completion.
