Mentoring Program

In academia as in any career, mentors are a great source of advice and support for students on various issues such as graduate student life, research career, life in academia, specific issues concerning women in sciences and engineering, or anything else. We are lucky to have many amazing faculty who are interested in helping students achieve success in our careers.

Below you can find a list of female McMaster faculty would be happy to meet with students in the role of a mentor. Feel free to contact them for any advice. Please remember to mention the WISE Mentorship program in your email.

Muffins 'n Mentors events

Another way to meet the mentors is by attending our new Muffins 'n Mentors breakfasts. Approximately once a month, we organize a breakfast where two mentors are invited to meet with 6 - 8 interested students over coffee and muffins. Upcoming Muffins and Mentors events will be announced here.
