Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentee for Disabled in STEM! This is the fifth year of the program and we are so grateful to have been able to run it these past years with support from the community. This program features 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! Mentors are all volunteers so they may have limited bandwidth throughout the year-long program. 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! Each pod is able to costuming the program to whatever fits their needs! Members will be matched in a pod during January via e-mail and invited to a Slack to connect everyone in the program for the 2025 Mentorship Program. 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/1jmAvJ3EuMa-r4bGXc09A9aYKbBLsLu-FLpDjqQKFLXw/edit?usp=sharing

For question #4 of #DiSWeek23 we're asking about self-care!
If you haven't thought about self-care for a while, take this as a sign to schedule some into your week! Get inspired by the ideas of others! #DisabledInSTEM #SelfCare
Question #3 of #DiSWeek23 hopes to highlight the inaccessible barriers that many of us face being #DisabledInSTEM
Hopefully this highlights how much we go through for others to learn from!
Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth! To fit with the theme of the month, I decided to kick off the inaugural #DisabledInSTEMWeek!
Please feel free to introduce yourself to the community here! I'm really looking forward to highlighting the diversity within the community!
