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.
