To facilitate successful and mutually beneficial mentoring relationships, APS supports the education and careers of both NMC mentors and mentees.
To assist mentors in their support of undergraduate and graduate students in physics, the NMC hosts webinars, provides resources on discussions of inequity and cultural competencies, and shares templates for mentorship contracts and development plans.
APS provides resources from advice articles to webinars for physics teachers and faculty as well as those mentoring physics students.
