basic guidelines. so now you have a mentor. what’s next? below are some suggestions for getting the most out of your mentoring relationship. a mentor is a good contact for you as you become part of the academic community. maintaining a good relationship with your mentor can help you find better research and publication opportunities, connect you with senior scholars in your field, and provide a valuable outside perspective on your career goals and plans. read the programme overview here. come to mentorship meetings with a few specific questions prepared. be sure to spend time listening! tell your mentor a little bit about yourself first, but be brief – he or she already has your cv talk with your mentor about how much contact and feedback he or she is able to provide send occasional updates on your research progress and planned activities to keep your mentorship relationship active (4 or 5 times per year) be careful not to overwhelm your mentor with papers to read or a flood of emails remember, a mentor is not an academic advisor. instead of specific research critiques, seek out general guidance and advice
