SSP FELLOWSHIP AND MENTORSHIP

Visible Benefits: Attending the conference, the recognition, committees and…....mentorship

My aweseme mentor: Adrian Stanley Hidden Benefits: The vast networking opportunites and the

extent of benefits from mentoring Conference attendance was great, but the mentorship is what

makes the program really special!

BEYOND THE SSP FELLOWSHIP

STEM FELLOWSHIP is a Canadian federal non-profit that provides mentorship and experiential learning opportunities in data science and scholarly writing to high school and undergraduate students.

STEM Fellowship Journal: Open-access-peer-review journal providing high school and undergraduate students their first chance to publish their STEM research.

“Official Mentoring” happens in various programs including: the editorial process, Scholarly Writing Challenge, Big Data Challenge

“Unofficial Mentoring” happens among executives and editorial board.

EMERGING TRENDS IN EARLY CAREER MENTORSHIP
