a mentor is life changing; other times it is simply reassuring and affirming. </p><p>Graduate students are encouraged to seek mentoring from multiple faculty, including from their advisor if they choose, as well as from other other students, postdoctoral scholars, and staff. In turn, students are also encouraged to serve as mentors to more junior graduate students, to undergraduates, or to high school students. Here are a few resources to get you started.</p><h2>Mentoring Programs & Groups</h2><h3><a href="/events/programs/wise-and-wissh-groups-women">WISE and WISSH</a></h3><p>Meet peers and mentors in your field through Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) and Women in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (WISSH). Groups meet weekly for 90 minutes and are led by a facilitator.</p><h3><a href="https://me.stanford.edu/our-culture/student-organizations">Mechanical Engineering Women's Group</a></h3><p>Sponsors a weekly Winter Quarter seminar featuring female leaders in engineering fields (ENG 311A) as well as other activities. Open to everyone.</p><h3><a href="http://mentoring.stanford.edu/">Stanford Alumni Mentoring</a></h3><p>Overseen by Stanford Career Education (CareerEd), Stanford Alumni Mentoring (SAM) connects graduate students with alumni near and far.</p><h3><a href="http://med.stanford.edu/bioscicareers/connections/biosci-connect.html">BioSci Connect</a></h3><p>An online mentoring community for career and life conversations with biosciences students, trainees, and postdocs.
