The SACNAS conference offers professionals opportunities to not only benefit professionally from attendance, but
to serve as a key component in the growth and development of up-and-coming minority scientists. Choosing the dual role of participant and mentor allows professionals to present
their latest research findings, interact with colleagues from diverse research fields and advance their careers while simultaneously
taking part in the myriad activities lending practical advice and inspiration to students.
Mentoring at the SACNAS conference
A growing trend in directing students into science, mathematics, and/or technology has been the role
of mentor, by definition a trusted counselor or guide. The SACNAS conference is tailored to not only present
new scientific research but to provide an inclusive environment that introduces and nurtures active mentoring.
SACNAS has found that its professional participants who
serve as presentation judges or mentors are a vital component to a student’s professional development.
Over half of the students who attended the 2006 SACNAS conference indicated that the guidance of
a mentor has been a key factor in their education choices and career path. Two-thirds of the students
from the 2006 conference indicated that participating in the SACNAS conference mentoring
activities has been more helpful than the mentoring available at their college or university.
