What Is the Virtual Mentors Program?
HEFNU’s Virtual Mentors Program provides an opportunity for junior scholars, particularly those very early in their careers, to network with and meet potential mentors. Mentors, all distinguished scholars in the field of Holocaust Studies, are available for “one-off” meetings. Some examples of discussion topics may include, but are not limited to: career opportunities and development, research, and work-life balance.
How Do I Book an Appointment?
To book an appointment with a Virtual Mentor, please email the mentor directly. Mentor emails are listed below. Mentors will coordinate with mentees to identify a date, time, and length for a virtual meeting (typically 30-60 minutes). Mentors will also provide a video link for the meeting.
In your email to a potential mentor, please list questions or topics that you would like to discuss.
