What's Happening in the SW Section?
The Southwest Section of PA APA is pleased to announce the formal launch of its Mentor Telemachus program!
Section council developed the Mentor Telemachus program as a result of our 2019 strategic focus on mentorship in the southwestern PA region. Mentor Telemachus has been carefully designed to bring practicing professionals and students together in ways that enrich the quality of the student experience through face-to-face and e-mentoring interactions with experienced, practicing planning professionals. It is the intent of the program to be open to not only planning students but also those in related studies such as architecture, geography, public administration, etc. Additionally, the Section is seeking to improve our connections with colleges and universities across the region with the aim of working together to cultivate clear connections between classroom and practice.
We are now looking for mentors. Please view the program guide, linked here: Program Guide
Practicing professionals that meet the requirements and are interested in being a mentor are asked to submit a completed participation application (pgs. 7-8) and resume to planswpa@gmail.com by September 15.
MT is also open to recent graduates (within the last 2 years) and emerging planners (1-2 years’ experience), so please forward this information along to those who may be interested in being a mentee.
