The RSA Career Development and Training Committee invites both mentors and mentees to participate in the 2026 RSA Annual Meeting Mentoring Program.

This program connects trainees and early career professionals with experienced members of the RSA community to support professional development, networking, and navigating the Annual Meeting. Participants will be asked to indicate their preferences for a mentor/mentee match, and the committee will make every effort to honor those preferences, though specific matches cannot be guaranteed.

Priority for Mentee matching will be given to first-time attendees who are students or post-baccalaureate trainees from underrepresented backgrounds. The committee will also work to match other interested students, post-baccs, clinical psychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty.

Eligible Mentors include doctoral students, predoctoral interns, postdoctoral fellows, faculty members (or equivalent), professional scientists/clinicians, and industry professionals working in relevant roles.

The application deadline is May 1, 2026.

For questions, please contact Mentoring Subcommittee Co-Chairs Dr. Milena Radoman (milena.radoman@yale.edu) or Dr. Jeff Boissoneault (jboisson@umn.edu).
