<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As was announced last week, TRIUMF has developed a new mentorship program aimed at undergrads, grad students, and postdocs. The program connects mentees to mentors through 2 streams:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Buddy Stream – mainly for folks who are newer to TRIUMF, where you’ll be connected with an experienced grad student or postdoc at TRIUMF for mostly non-academic
advice.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Academic Stream – for those looking for career advice, navigating academia, network building, etc. You will be connected with a more senior TRIUMF researcher
or staff member.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Both of these streams connect you with a new person at TRIUMF for informal advice over casual meetings, often with lunch/coffee provided by TRIUMF. This is an excellent opportunity to meet someone new and
share experiences without already having a defined research working relationship, for example like you do with your supervisor. Mentees and mentors will be matched based on the information provided in the application form. GAPS members are also encouraged
to act as mentors for the buddy stream! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please see the detailed message below for more information and the application forms. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Ben or Gabby (in cc) if you have questions. To begin, this is a limited enrolment
pilot program that will last for 6 months, so get your applications in by the April 24<sup>th</sup> deadline!

The program aims to establish connections that support and foster positive day-to-day work and life experiences at TRIUMF (<b>Buddy Stream</b>) and/or build relationships with more experienced and senior members of our organization to learn new skills and
increase networking opportunities (<b>Academic Mentorship Stream</b>). Depends on the program they are in, students participating in the Early Career Researcher Mentorship Program will have an opportunity to choose to work with either a buddy, an academic
mentor, or both. All streams of the pilot program will operate around regularly scheduled, open-format discussions held between mentors and mentees. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
