Thank You to All the Mentor Volunteers

Who Served at the GSA 2018 Annual Meeting!

Mentors are integral to GSA’s meeting and are a source of
motivation and support for students and early career profession-
als 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:

• Annual Meeting Mentors
• Drop-in Mentors
• GeoCareers Roundtable Mentors
• On To the Future Mentors
• Résumé Mentors
• Student Networking Mentors
• Women in Geology Roundtable Mentors

“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

“Loved the mentoring
roundtable and booths.”
