The MPSA invites conference attendees who are graduate students, contingent faculty, junior faculty, or PhDs in non-academic positions to meet with faculty mentors over refreshments in a small-group setting.
The Mentoring Reception will be held during the MPSA Annual Conference on
Friday April 4, 2025 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, IL.
You must be registered for the in-person conference to participate; there will not be an option to participate virtually. Please review your conference schedule before you RSVP for the Mentoring Reception.
Each mentor will connect with a group of no more than four mentees to discuss current research and professional aspirations. Your contact information and questions/conversation topics will be shared with your mentor and fellow participants in your small group.
Short biographical sketches of this year’s mentors can be found here. Mentors are available on a first come, first served basis.
RSVP to participate in the Mentoring Reception no later than Wednesday March 19, 2025.
There will be no on-site signups for this event, so mentors will have plenty of time to review the information for those in their group prior to the event.
