GSA 2019 Mentoring



                     Thank you to all the mentor volunteers who served at the GSA 2019 Annual Meeting!


            Mentors are integral to GSA’s meetings and are a source of
          motivation and support for students and early career profes-
          sionals as they seek advice and information related to their
          academic and career pathways. Below are the programs mentor
          volunteers participated in and some comments from mentees:

            •  Drop-in Mentors
            •  On To the Future Mentors
            •  Résumé Mentors
            •  Networking Mentors
            •  Women in Geology Mentors
            •  GeoCareers Center Presenters


          “My mentor was fantastic; he provided excellent advice about
          how to make effective and informative posters, how to meet new
          people and who to talk to, and introduced me to some of the
          students that he worked with in the past.”
          —On To the Future Mentorship

          “I thought that the résumé mentor was very thoughtful
          and informative, and I appreciated all of his feedback.”
          —Résumé Mentorship

          “I had a very good experience with my mentor. They were
          very insightful and thoughtful. When they couldn’t answer
          my questions, they put me in contact with people who could.”
          —On To the Future Mentorship
