    Hello,

     

    Are you interested in the Women in OR/MS (WORMS) Mentorship Network?  This mentorship network pairs mentees with mentors who can provide advice on academic or industrial careers, job searches, research directions, work/life balance, etc.

     

    If you are interested in volunteering to be a mentor and/or mentee please sign-up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b6JjhHA_Vm3web7JmgeKz1NRpm-b55Sxd5C_KrEbiTY/viewform.  If you have previously signed-up, please sign-up again so we can create a new yearly pairing with the most up-to-date set of volunteers.

     

    On October 28, I will email all newly paired mentors and mentees to enable those attending the annual meeting to attend our Coffee with a Mentor event!  With this event, we encourage each mentor to treat their mentee to a cup of coffee reimbursable from WORMS*.  During this time, you can establish an in-person relationship which will hopefully create a basis for a lasting online mentoring relationship.

     

    Thank you to all of our existing mentors and mentees and we hope for another successful year.  Please note, the WORMS mentorship network is a benefit only for WORMS members, thus only WORMS members may enroll.  To become a WORMS member please sign-up: Membership - INFORMS

     

    Thanks,

     

    The WORMS Officers
