Forms and Tips

Paul & Timothy Mentor Program

This program pairs conference alumni and first-timers to help new conferees feel welcome and more comfortable in the first couple of days and give alumni opportunities to mentor and share their wisdom. Even if you have attended only one conference, you have valuable experience to offer.

How it works: “Pauls” and “Timothys” will be assigned before the conference, so you can make initial contact before arriving. Once the conference begins, the two of you will eat lunch together the first day and stay in touch throughout the first couple of days. “Pauls” will help “Timothys” with questions about classes, appointments, critique groups, etc. Both sets will benefit from the personal connections.

How to get involved: After you register for the conference, contact Letitia Suk at Letitia.Suk@gmail.com by June 8 to let her know you want to be involved. State whether you are a “Paul” (alumnus) or a “Timothy” (first-timer) and whether you are a man or woman (some names are not obvious). Letitia will match you and be available during the conference for any additional assistance.
