La Asociación Nacional de Postdocs quiere reconocer a aquellos mentores que dan su mejor esfuerzo por proveer valioso apoyo, consejos, y ayuda profesional. Si tu mentor llena esta definición, nomínala/o. No sólo le estarás dando reconocimiento de manera individual, pero el premio la ayudará a ella o a él a reclutar postdocs y estudiantes igual de excepcionales como tu. ;-)
“A mentor is somebody willing to fight for you the battles nobody else is willing to fight.” – Dr. Erika T. Camacho (who was mentored by THE Jaime Escalante)
It could be said a good mentor is worth his or her weight in gold. A good mentor counsels, encourages, supports, guides, and listens, among many other things. Mentors can come in many shapes or forms. They can be family, friends, colleagues, teachers, professors, neighbors and even complete strangers.
