Mentorship Program
At the Association’s June 2001 Board Meeting, IAFA and the IAFA Student Caucus (SCIAFA) passed a resolution to sponsor a Mentoring Program aimed at helping student scholars (and others new to ICFA) to find their way around ICFA, discover the natural friendliness of the conference as quickly as possible, use ICFA as an entrance into existing scholarly communities concerned with the fantastic, and leave with both fond memories of the supporting organization and plans to return. So far, the mentoring program has been a great success, so we boldly continue for a fourth year at ICFA-26 in 2005.
The success of this program depends upon its volunteer participants, and we would like to urge you to sign up as either a mentor or mentee, either by filling out a form on the Student Caucus web site or by sending an e-mail to Stefan Ekman, the current student representative, at stefan.ekman AT englund.lu.se. (Please include the information listed below in the e-mail.) For more information, check the Student Caucus web site (one click away from www.iafa.org).
Thank you in advance!
When signing up, please include the following:
§ Your name.
§ Your e-mail address.
§ Your institutional affiliation.
§ Your main interests in the field of the fantastic.
§ When you will be arriving at the conference.
§ When you will be departing from the conference.
§ Whether you are currently planning to attend the conference reception on Wednesday evening.
§ Whether you are signing up as mentor or mentee.
