AWM Mentor Network
Volunteer Form

Here's the way the AWM Mentor Network works.

We match mentors with girls/women who are interested in mathematics and/or are pursuing careers in mathematics. As a mentor, you may not know all of the answers to questions asked of you by your advisees, but the idea is to link them into a network: you may know of someone who knows the answers or someplace to look for the answers, and you can direct them there.

To get started, please answer the few simple questions below. If you would like to be a mentor, we will match you up with girls/women in mathematics who are looking for a mentor, according to the general area of interest you indicate. If you would like to help out in some capacity other than mentoring directly, you can also sign up to help with the Mentor Forum or to help in matching mentors and advisees. In assisting with the mentor forum, you would advertise topics, recruit people for the discussion, and moderate discussions. In helping to match mentors, you will help in suggesting possible mentors and matches that will be helpful to the mentored.

If you any comments, questions, or suggestions about this new AWM mentor network, don't hesititate to send them to Prof. Rachel Kuske, Coordinator (mentor@awm-math.org). Since this is a new program, any input will be appreciated!

Thanks for volunteering!
