Mentorship Program
Everyone needs mentors -- people who guide us by advising, questioning, doubting, or supporting us as we progress through life. While this community was founded primarily to help students figure out how to define and achieve their career goals by meeting mentors other than their faculty advisors, we're happy to advise anyone whose interest is in the interaction of light with matter.

The Coblentz Society and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy are once again hosting a speed mentoring event at SciX 2019. This will be a fun, fast-paced event where you can interact one-on-one with other scientists, potentially form a mentor/mentee relationship, and expand your professional network. Registration is free and will include lunch. Please register either as a Mentor or a Mentee.
