I am posting this announcement on behalf of a SEEDS student hoping to
recruit mentors at the upcoming American Geophysicists Union Conference.
===============
Greetings,
The Minorities Striving and Pursuing Higher Degrees of Success
Professional Development Program (MS PHD’S PDP) will again sponsor
students to attend the '08 Fall AGU Meeting. We are now inviting AGU
members to serve as mentors to this year’s cohort of twenty-two minority
undergraduate and graduate students.
The one-on-one interaction of students with established scientists
continues to be a highlight of their experience.
Science meeting mentors are asked to:
* Communicate with selected mentee(s) before the Fall AGU meeting to
discuss common academic interests;
*Attend an informal mentor/mentee introduction either on Sunday night
(Dec. 14th) or Monday afternoon (Dec. 15th). Specific times and locations
will be confirmed before AGU meeting;
* Discuss a minimum of four presentations with your mentee(s) during the
meeting;
* Facilitate networking by introducing your mentee(s) to other scientists
with similar interests; and,
* Offer mentee(s) academic and career advice.

If you are available to serve, please select two or three students with
research/academic areas that best align with your interests. It is our
intent to assign to each AGU meeting mentor student mentees of their
choice. Please include the names of selected students in your RSVP to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on or before Thursday, December 4th.
Thank you again for assisting the next generation of scientists to
navigate within the AGU community.
