SEEKING MENTEES!
Polar Impact, a network for racial and ethnic minorities in polar research, is thrilled to announce applications for the inaugural Mentorship Initiative are now open! This year-long program will be open to ten mentees who identify as a historically excluded racial or ethnic minority in polar research and engage with the polar regions through academic research. We recognize that these individuals face unique challenges, and the Polar Impact Mentorship Initiative aims to address those challenges by providing access to community, resources, workshops, and networking opportunities. The program offers opportunities for mentees to develop skills and build relationships through both peer-to-peer and one-on-one faculty mentoring. Mentee applications close on May 20, 2022 and programming will begin in August 2022. The application can be found here.
