What the Program Offers
One-on-one mentorship with faculty scholars active in animal welfare economics
Supportive conversations focused on research ideas, feedback, and professional development
A low-commitment structure: mentors and mentees meet remotely 2-4 times per academic year
Why Join?
Research shows that mentorship can significantly improve academic outcomes, from increased research productivity to greater success on the academic job market and higher likelihoods of tenure.
