Ethnic Minority Affairs (CEMA) is launching the 2</span><sup><span style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">nd</span></sup><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif"> Cohort of our mentoring program
that aims to increase racial/ethnic minority student engagement in SIOP and I-O
psychology. Through the development of mentoring relationships, graduate
students will be provided with the information and advice needed to launch
successful careers. In this program, a SIOP-member mentor meets (via phone,
video chat, or in-person) regularly with a mentee(s) to discuss research,
career-related topics, graduate school-related topics, or other professional
issues of interest (e.g., academic vs. practitioner careers, building a
consulting practice, publishing in top journals). It is left up to mentors and
mentees to determine the specific topics they wish to cover in their meetings,
tailored to mentors’ specific experience/expertise and mentees’
interests/needs. </span></p>

will provide some structure to ensure that the mentor-mentee relationship
flourishes, but will also provide the flexibility for mentors and mentees to
determine meeting frequency, content, and mode of communication, as well as the
best times and dates to conduct mentoring sessions. Mentees will be responsible
for following up with their mentors to schedule regular mentoring sessions, and
we ask that mentors be responsive to their mentees' requests.</span></p>
