Mentorship Project

The Mentoring Committee of Division 52 has developed a pilot mentoring match program for experienced international psychologists and students, early career psychologists and international affiliates and is looking for volunteers for mentors and mentees. Their web page now includes the Mentoring Guidelines, Letter from the Mentoring Coordinator, Ani Kalayijian, and the Application Form for mentors and mentees, as well as a listing of international research and teaching opportunities. Click here to access this webpage. Comments or suggestions for this page should be sent to the chair, Irene Hanson Frieze, at frieze+@pitt.edu. The Mentoring Committee is also working to link researchers in different countries so that people outside of the U.S. can find sponsors if they want to come to the U.S. or need help in preparing papers for publication in U.S. journals. We would also like to have volunteers to host U.S. scholars who want to work in other countries.

Good intentions are no longer enough. I wanted to support humanity in my own way. Meaningful World was a natural way for me to help the victims of tsunami.

So many systems have failed us and as we transition from failed models, attitudes and behaviors that are polarizing, destructive and failing all around us I could not just sit back, be overwhelmed and do nothing… I am doing something with Meaningful World.

Meaningful World cultivates well-being, relatedness, a deep awareness and understanding how to elevate some of the world's suffering. Our choices impact all living systems and I choose to be an agent of good.
