[Comicsstudiessociety] GSC Mentorship Program Returns

[Jeremy Carnes]

Dear All,

As a member-at-large of the GSC, it is my great pleasure to announce that the CSS-GSC Mentorship Program is back!

The GSC CSS Academic Mentorship Program seeks to empower up-and-coming comics studies scholars and graduate students by encouraging them to develop the diverse skills and strategies necessary to successfully complete their graduate degree and navigate the current job market within, alongside, and outside/beyond academia. Academic mentors are successful senior scholars in the field of comics studies, who will support their mentee by giving academic advice, sharing resources, investing in their general academic success and helping them network.

GSC members will be paired with senior faculty members from CSS based on shared interests as indicated in the form to sign up for the program (see links below). Pairings will be announced in early October 2022. We encourage mentors to reach out to their mentees via email, but how often and through which channel the mentee and mentor communicate is for each pair to decide individually. The GSC plans to organize a virtual meeting for all mentors and mentees in November 2022 to facilitate first contact where it hasn’t occurred, yet, and to answer any questions about the program.

Deadline for Applications is September 30, 2022.
Pairings will be announced mid-October 2022.

If you are interested in either being an Academic Mentor or Mentee, please fill out the application form linked to in the document<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fdocs.google.com*2Fdocument*2Fd*2F1vf3D4zDM6wzHcYBBcWtGRfGQKBSyIgBv*2Fedit*3Fusp*3Dsharing*26ouid*3D104667042284599566817*26rtpof*3Dtrue*26sd*3Dtrue&data=05*7C01*7Cjeremy.carnes*40ucf.edu*7C35dfb47e76f54ac193e508da95cb9ed6*7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1*7C0*7C1*7C637987000893930437*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C3000*7C*7C*7C&sdata=Pv2cK*2BWMYXXaFp0TSb*2B*2BM1Qvlj6Z3iC5g6S6eP6CC8w*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!KGKeukY!0pQEakWiBM-CEz3xT9MQUahQOsC1jcPTijsQ4Y2BkxMSEs48hQ5qzFRNRB9pCL0dE8dzSHCC1DV5l6uZjyZpxdwhjc7Skqbvz-nAcg$  > attached.
