Hi everyone,
I wanted to follow up on the email I sent out yesterday about AWAC Mentoring Committee’s summer mentoring program. It has come to my attention that the Google sign-up form was mistakenly requiring participants to select all listed interests, rather than only those that applied to them. As I noted in my initial email, the summer mentoring program is open to all writing and communication professionals, and you have your choice of which interests you’d like to focus on with your mentee or mentor. The form now reflects this purpose. If you’d like to sign up to be paired in a one-on-one professional relationship this summer with someone who shares your interests, I encourage you to fill out the form here.
Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
Best,
Michele

Subject: Announcing Sign-Ups for an Online Cross-Institutional Mentoring Program
Colleagues,
Exciting news! We’re launching an inclusive online cross-institutional summer mentoring program available to all professionals in writing and communication studies. Participants have their choice of focus areas, which include many different disciplines in addition to a myriad of pursuits such as program development, curriculum design, writing centers, first-year writing, research/publication, career development, incorporating DEI, and more. Hosted by the Association for Writing Across the Curriculum’s Mentoring Committee, the program will pair professionals in one-on-one relationships that not only offer mentoring, but also create opportunities for cross-institutional connections among like-minded peers. This is a great opportunity for networking and career growth.
Join us this summer. We’re asking mentors and mentees to give just one hour of their time during the months of June, July and August, for a total of three hours. Mentoring can be conducted on Zoom, in email, or in any other format that makes distance connection possible.
To sign up and learn more, complete the short survey michele.zugnoni.
Thank you from the members of the AWAC Mentoring Committee!
