The AEJMC History Division is starting the second year of its Mentorship Program, intended to provide practical advice to our members by connecting them with more experienced members of the division.

All division members are eligible to participate, either as a mentor or a mentee. A variety of pairings may come out of this process that could assist scholars at any phase of their careers. For instance, recently-graduated assistant professors or lecturers may be paired with students to assist them with the process of becoming professional academics. Senior scholars may be paired with junior faculty to assist them with their teaching or mentor them through the tenure process. Full professors and professors emerita/emeritus may be paired with associate professors to assist with later-career transitions.

If you are interested in applying to be a mentor or mentee, please fill out the application form at https://tinyurl.com/AEJHDMentor2020 by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on March 27.

Applicants will be paired according to their application responses and will receive further instruction in early April. Pairings made this spring will last one calendar year. Participants in the 2019-2020 mentorship program are welcome to reapply.
