The Division C New Faculty Mentoring Program
The Division C New Faculty Mentoring Program (NFMP) provides Division C members who are new to the academy with an opportunity to receive both collective and individual mentoring from renowned scholars in their field(s). At the 2006 Annual Meeting, the NFMP will provide a half-day seminar for 15 young scholars, paired each participant with an individual mentor, and host an evening reception all participants, mentors, and seminar speakers.
New faculty and recent graduates (within the past 4 years) who would like to participate should submit the following application materials as email attachments to Helenrose Fives (helenrose.fives@ttu.edu ), co-chair of the program, by Monday February 6, 2006 (deadline extended!)
§ A cover letter that:

3) indicates potential mentors.
**This information is vital to the successful identification of appropriate mentors.**

Also, individuals who are accepted will be asked to submit a manuscript or other scholarly work to their assigned mentors one month prior to the conference.
