APSA Mentoring Program – Enroll Now for Fall 2023

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the APSA Mentoring Program! Fall enrollment is now open through August 21, 2023. The APSA Mentoring Program was created in 2003 with the purpose of connecting 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. Potential mentoring topics include graduate school admissions, navigating the academic job market, applied careers in political science, and work-life balance. Read more about mentoring in political science in a 2003 article by Task Force chair Kristen Monroe.

Interested mentees should log into the APSA website and submit their applications by August 21, 2023 to be considered for a mentoring match. Due to high demand, APSA will not be able to make matches for individuals who submit their mentoring request outside of the set enrollment period.
