SCEC Research Mentor Training Workshop - June 7-8, 2019

We have a few spots available for SCEC’s first Transitions Program - Research Mentor Training! The NEW deadline to apply is Friday, May 24.

This training is open to anyone in the SCEC community who is interested in enhancing their mentoring skills and relationships, which is crucial for the development of a better-trained and engaged STEM workforce.

While priority consideration will be given to applicants who have transitioned to faculty positions in the last five years, we encourage anyone interested in developing effective research mentoring relationships and in growing the next generation of geoscientists to apply.

Selected applicants will learn how to improve and promote cultural change that values excellence in research mentoring as a critical aspect of diversifying the geoscience workforce. This training format is designed to provide information to enhance knowledge and skills in a range of mentoring competencies including, but not limited to:
• Maintaining effective communication
• Aligning expectations
• Assessing understanding
• Addressing equity and inclusion
• Fostering independence
• Promoting professional development
• Cultivating ethical behavior

When/Where. This two-day training is scheduled for June 7-8 at the University of Southern California’s Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies on Catalina Island.

Costs. There is no fee to participate in this workshop. All participants will lodge at the Wrigley Institute Boone Center and meals will be provided while at the center. Support for travel costs to and from the workshop will be available.

Application. Only a couple of spots are left! Click here to apply for this training.

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
