ISIAQ’s mentorship program allows students and early-career ISIAQ members to align with other ISIAQ members, forming a mentor-mentee relationship that can strengthen the society, advance the profession, and build lifelong collaborations and friendships.
The program will provide mentees with mentorship and guidance from ISIAQ researchers outside of their home institutions, providing them with early career advice, research and publication advice, discussions about current and emerging topics in the indoor environmental science field, and an opportunity for the mentee to network with senior members.
ISIAQ mentors and students can enroll through registration on the website. ISIAQ will pair up mentor-mentee couples after registration through the website based on the answers in the questionnaire. Registration for the program runs from July-November each year, and pairings occur in October and December each year. The ISIAQ mentorship program runs through July of the following year, and mentors/mentees can elect to continue their partnership outside of ISIAQ after the year commitment.
Mentors and mentees are expected to meet quarterly for the duration of the program, with a goal of meeting face-to-face at the summer ISIAQ conference (Healthy Buildings or Indoor Air).
To support meetings and engagement, ISIAQ will host quarterly networking sessions via Zoom, which will have specific topical themes. Mentorship program participants are welcome, and encouraged, to suggest topics for these events.
