Mentor Match Helps Build Relationships at All Career Stages
Mentors have likely played an influential role throughout much of your life. Mentors offer insight to the issues they faced, lessons learned, and a wealth of knowledge from their life experiences. The Society of Toxicology recognizes the valuable experience mentoring offers both parties involved. To facilitate the development of mentoring relationships amongst members, SOT has developed the Mentor Match program. This is a free service available to all SOT members. To begin the process, simply visit the Mentor Match section of the SOT Web site and create a profile. You may be either a mentor or mentee, or both simultaneously. Users may search based on criteria specific to their needs and interests. A search will return multiple profiles from which you can choose a potential match. Users of Mentor Match recognize the many benefits of a mentoring relationship and will offer their advice and experiences to help others in their field.
As the Annual Meeting approaches, now is a great time to get involved with Mentor Match. As you develop your relationship with your mentor and/or mentee, a face-to-face conversation may be beneficial. There is no better venue than the 2010 Annual Meeting, where both parties can explore professional opportunities and the exciting toxicology topics covered at the Meeting.
For further information, visit SOT Mentor Match. For questions, contact Kristen Meletti via e-mail or by phone at (703) 438-3115, ext. 1660.
