Mentoring and Networking

The WISMAC networking program is designed to match newly appointed female faculty with senior faculty women from different academic departments. The goal of the program is to retain female faculty at UT Southwestern Medical Center and to foster their success by offering a friendly contact for advice and information pertaining to life on and off campus. If you are interested in participating in the program or would like more information, please email Carole Mendelson, Ph.D. at carole.mendelson@utsouthwestern.edu.

On October 8, 2010, WISMAC organized and hosted a Speed Mentoring session. Modeled after the speed dating concept, this event gave postdoctoral scholars and faculty members (instructor through associate professor) at UT Southwestern the opportunity to meet and gain the perspective of multiple enthusiastic senior female faculty mentors from both basic and clinical sciences. If you would like to participate in the next session that we plan, please email wismac@utsouthwestern.edu.
