Home  › Programs  › Mentoring Mentoring In Political Science APSA recognizes the importance of mentoring for effective career development and professional integration. To this end, the APSA Task Force on Mentoring developed a mentoring process administered by APSA to connect interested graduate students and faculty with political scientists in the field who are available for mentorship to counsel on matters of the profession.  In addition, APSA has compiled a list of mentoring resources for students seeking a mentor, and for senior faculty and others who want more information on mentoring. Become a Mentor       Find a Mentor   Additional Mentoring Resources  Comments and Suggestions: Questions, comments, and suggestions about APSA mentoring initiatives may be referred to the Education and Professional Development Office at APSA (mentoring@apsanet.org).    Mentoring Awards The submission process for the Adaljiza Sosa-Riddell Award for Exemplary Mentoring nominations is now closed.
