[Nhcoll-l] Looking for mentors for SPNHC 2018 Dunedin New Zealand

[Jeff Stephenson]

Hello,
First, apologies for the short notice.
If you are a SPNHC member, and are planning to attend the conference in Dunedin, New Zealand, and would enjoy an opportunity to serve as a mentor to one of the Travel Grant awardees, we would welcome your volunteering!
There are six awardees who have requested a mentor for the upcoming conference, in disciples which include:

*         Invertebrate Biology

*         Archaeology

*         Entomology

*         Mineralogy

*         Original data capture for Natural History collections

*         Bryophytes
If you would be interested, please contact Elise Lecompte and myself and we can start the process.  If you've not tried this before, it can be a very worthwhile experience, both for your mentee and for yourself.  Mentors are asked to contact the awardees prior to the conference, help with presentations, spend time with the awardees, introduce them to their colleagues, and floow the progress of the awardees through follow-ups on articles and future work.
We may also ask for other mentors willing to help addition new attendees, so please reply if you can.
Thank you very much!
Jeff
