- 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.
Eligibility:
- Graduate students who participated in IAAMCS activities and are interested in mentoring undergraduates,
- Faculty members with a focus in computing,
- Leaders in the tech industry.
