FYI Mentorship Program

Empowering Yourself To Find Your Ideal Mentor

The problem

Early-career scientists, especially undergraduates and graduates, often lack strategies and resources to approach potential mentors, making it difficult to find the right guidance and support for their career paths.

The goal

Create materials and resources (email templates, checklists, guides) that empower early-career scientists to confidently reach out to mentors, improving their chances of building meaningful mentoring relationships.
