About the APSA Mentoring Program

The APSA Mentoring Program was created in 2003 and connects undergraduate, graduate students, and junior faculty from all backgrounds to experienced and senior members of the profession for professional development support on academic and career topics. The APSA Mentoring Program aims to connect students, scholars, and professionals seeking advice, support, and guidance with volunteer mentors in the discipline. APSA encourages members to share their expertise and experience through mentoring. Visit the APSA Mentoring webpage or contact us for more information.
