Student members of IPPA will present the SIPPA Mentoring Event on Friday, July 14th from 7 – 8:30 pm. This year, in addition to facilitating traditional mentor/mentee connections, the planning team would like to incorporate an educational component to the event. SIPPA invites mentors and experienced students to propose mini-workshops and facilitated discussions that they might deliver on-site that will provide valuable coaching or development opportunities for students of positive psychology as they prepare to enter the field.
Examples of proposed workshops and discussions might include:
-
Incorporating positive psychology into your dissertation
-
Building a resume in graduate school for a career in academia
-
How to incorporate positive psychology in research
-
How to implement positive psychology in the classroom
-
What does positive psychology look like in counseling
-
How to incorporate positive psychology into your management and leadership style
If you would like to present to students at this event, please select a format from the following options and fill out the Event Mentor Questionnaire.
- Workshops are 30 minute, small-group interactive sessions that focus on a specific intervention, assessment, research method or tool.
- Facilitated discussions are 10 minute prepared talks to educate mentees on a specific topic to stimulate discussion.
- Question and Answer are open forums where mentees have the opportunity to ask mentors questions related to the mentors field. No formal preparation is required.
The deadline to propose a workshop or discussion is May 15, 2017.
SIPPA’s Executive Team will review each proposal and follow-up with submitters.
Finally, SIPPA invites students and potential mentees, to learn more about opportunities for one-on-one mentoring throughout the calendar year, by visiting SIPPA’s webpage.
