The GEMEE Mentoring Program
The GEM Encourage & Elevate (GEMEE) Mentoring Program is designed by a subcommittee to encourage an intergenerational exchange of professional knowledge, expertise, skills, insights, and experiences with the goal of elevating the career of future GEM scientists.
Under the GEMEE program, mentees can grow their professional network, learn to navigate professional challenges, and build their career path, while mentors can develop effective communication skills, connect with early-career scientists, advance their leadership skills, and gain a broader understanding of their field.
We encourage active participation in the GEMEE mentoring program. Mentors and mentees are expected to have at least two one-to-one meetings: ~1 hour prior to GEM and ~1 hour during or within a month after the meeting. Also, participants are encouraged to join an optional luncheon session for discussing several career agendas with other mentors and mentees in a group setting.
This year GEMEE Mentoring program 2025 invites Mentors and Mentees from both GEM and CEDAR communities!!
