Want a professional mentor?

Hello, friends!

Poking around the SPJ Web site (a.k.a. procrastinating) I found a "find a mentor" program! You have to be a paid member of the pro chapter to sign up - and you should be - and they will connect you with a professional journalist who will provide help, support and guidance. Awesome, right?

It's super easy to sign up: enter your name, contact information, write, at most, 300 words total on what your interests are, what you want out of a career in journalism and what you would like from a mentor.

I seriously suggest you pay the $36 for a student membership and sign up for the program. What's the worst that could happen? You pay $36 and meet someone who could connect you to a job after you graduate? Tragic!

Professors and professional journalists: If you're interested but beyond the point of needing a mentor, don't worry; you can sign up to be one!

Let me know if you sign up! Better yet, let me know if you're assigned a mentor and who your mentor is! I'm so excited!
