[Ieee_vis] Mentorship Program for IEEE VR 2024

[IEEE VR Publicity]

*IEEE VR 2024: The 31st IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User
Interfaces*
March 16-21, 2024 | Orlando, Florida USA
OVERVIEW

The goal of the IEEE VR 2024 Mentorship Program is to connect newcomers to
the conference (mentees) and experienced attendees (mentors) via shared
interests. This program is a great networking opportunity for both mentees
and mentors to learn both about each other and the VR field in general!
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

Interested individuals can apply to the Mentorship Program after
registering for the 2024 IEEE VR conference. Mentors and mentees will be
matched by the program organizers based on different levels of IEEE VR
experience and research interests and will be put in contact before the
conference begins.

Interested participants should complete this form

 by *February 28, 2024*. This deadline is to give time for the committee to
match mentors and mentees before the conference begins. First-time
attendees will receive priority consideration for a mentor, and the
mentorship program will be open to the most compelling 40 applicants, based
on need and order of application.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THIS PROGRAM?

Mentors and mentees are expected to participate in several activities
together throughout the conference. Some suggested activities include:

   - Attending a paper session together and discussing afterwards
   - Meeting during coffee breaks/meals to discuss research and/or general
   career guidance

We ask that the mentors also introduce their mentee(s) to at least *one (1)
colleague* who is attending the conference. Preferably, this colleague will
be someone at an institution that is different from the mentee’s to
encourage further networking.

Participants will also be asked to complete a *closing survey* providing
feedback on the program after the conference.
