Mentoring Opportunity with IAAMCS
The Institute for African-American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (IAAMCS) is seeking exceptional mentors that can significantly impact the lives and future careers of aspiring students.

- Encourage participants by engaging in IAAMCS community,
- Empower mentees to pursue their academic, research, and industry careers with confidence,
- Facilitate matching between mentors with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and expertise, and mentees who are eager to take active roles in their journey.
