Are you interested in becoming a mentor or mentee?

The mentoring program is designed to support professional growth for Medical and Health Sciences Librarians in the SCMLA region by pairing experienced librarians (mentors) with those seeking guidance, skill development, and career advisement (mentees).
Through regular conversations, our goal for the mentoring program is that participants will foster continuous development and build strong relationships.

If you are interested in becoming a SCMLA Mentor, please submit the Southern Chapter MLA Mentor Application

If you are interested in being a SCMLA Mentee, please submit the Southern Chapter MLA Mentee Application

The Membership Committee will then work to match the Mentor/Mentee pairs.

The Mentoring Program is available only to current SCMLA members.
