DisabledInSTEM Mentee Application 2023

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentee for Disabled in STEM! This is the third year of the program and we have decided to mix it up a bit! We are going to be offering mentoring pods, which will allow for interactions between multiple mentees and mentors. The goal of these mentoring pods are to provide disabled individuals in STEM with a mentor(s) who could help guide them through the process, such as by working on soft skills related to excelling in STEM, such as interviewing, personal statements, networking, etc. Please only apply to this program if you have a disability and are in a STEM-field (including psychology!). Mentors are volunteers who are committed to helping those DisabledInSTEM succeed. Some have a disability themselves and some are allies. We cannot guarantee that your mentor(s) will be in the same field as you are, but there's still a lot that can be learned and connected through this experience! As part of the program, mentoring pods will be asked to meet monthly along with setting goals/tasks to be completed. Tasks may be reading assignment related to a career, attending a conference, talking to someone else in the field, or anything else as it will be dependent on what works best for the members of your pod! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email at: [email protected] Additional information about the program for mentees can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bA6kavCRxMZepczCWy7cpOSRLU2C6CXIkVB1HJSgl4g/edit?usp=sharing
