Application for 2022-2023 GCC Mentoring Program Open

7/1/2022

Today, the GCC has opened the application period for our member mentoring program, which seeks to promote professional growth and build community for all GCC members by providing a structured program that removes barriers, facilitates connections, and supports an environment where learning can flourish.

Become a mentor to engage with others in the GCC community, enhance your own professional development, and give back to our organization.  

Join as a mentee and partner with your mentor to advance professionally, be more engaged in the GCC community, and learn how to better serve your graduate students and/or postdocs in a career and professional development capacity.

Eligibility: 
  • Mentors: We invite GCC members with 3 or more years in the GCC or 3 or more years serving as a graduate career professional to apply as mentors. 
  • Mentees:  We invite GCC members (at any stage) who feel they would benefit from this program to apply as mentees.
All are encouraged to participate! Participants from previous years’ programs are welcome and encouraged to re-apply for this year’s program. A new application for each participant is required every year.  

How It Works:
  • Application will be open from July 1 thru July 31, 2022. 
  • Mentors and mentees will be matched based on participants' interests and requests. 
  • Mentoring pairs will be introduced in August and the program will run from September 2022 through June 2023. 
  • Mentoring pairs will work together to decide meeting/session logistics – frequency, format, mode – that work for both.  We recommend that you connect with each other monthly, but ask that you plan to connect with each other at least three times during the course of the year.  
  • Mentoring pairs can connect via phone or video conference to discuss challenges, successes, and issues. 
Application is now open!  Apply here!
