Tuesday, February 13: Technology and Mental Health. This is in coordination with the Graduate Student Council's Mental Health Awareness Month. Dartmouth post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Valerie Noel, is a member of "The Dartmouth Project." The Dartmouth Project investigates how the growing use of technology is impacting mental health and also how technology could be used to better deliver care. Facebook link to come.

Tuesday, March 13th: Science Policy Journal Club. The STEPS leadership team will decide on the paper closer to the date. But this will be used as an opportunity to dissect a good white paper in preparation for our annual competition in the Spring. The grand prize for the white paper competition is $250! Facebook Link to come.

Congressional Visit Day March 15th-16th, Washington D.C.
CVD is perhaps our most exciting event of the year! It is a fantastic opportunity for professional development and to get to see how Congress works from the inside. Please read this section fully if you are interested in participating. CVD is hosted/organized by our national affiliate, the National Science Policy Group. Here is their website: https://natscipolgroup.wordpress.com/. They coordinate graduate students to attend this event from dozens of colleges and universities nation-wide. NSPG also hosts a mandatory communication training day (on the 15th) before you are released in the halls of Congress (on the 16th). Significant preparation work (15+ hours) is expected of attendees to make the most out of this event.

The STEPS leadership team will be selecting 3 graduate students or Post-docs to attend the CVD. Our undergraduate liaison is pursuing a source of funding for undergraduates, but in any case we will only send a maximum of 4 people. If you are an Undergrad and interested in attending, you should still send in an application, in case funding does come through. We also prefer to have one of the participants be somebody who has attended in the past. Participants will be responsible for the logistical planning of the trip and securing funding for travel expenses (we will assist with the funding process). Additionally, participants must organize a presentation lunch, for our Spring term lunch series, to report back what you learned and share fun pictures.

To apply for the trip, please send the following information to this email in a 1 page or less word doc by next week Tuesday, January 9th at 5pm.
- Name
- Undergrad/Graduate/Post-Doc
- Expected Graduation Date
- Whether you have participated in this event before
- Department/area of study
- A short paragraph on what has been your favorite STEPS event and why
- A paragraph or two on why you think STEPS should choose you to go to Washington D.C.

Please do not go over 1 page for the application. STEPS leadership will decide on participants primarily based on time-to-graduation and history of activity in STEPS. Secondary criteria will be making sure our delegation covers a diverse field of topics and quality of responses in the application. The timeline for this is very quick, so please get your applications in sooner rather than later!

NH Statehouse Visit Date to be determined. Concord, NH
We are in the preliminary phases of organizing a day trip to visit the NH State Capitol building. STEPS will likely cover the cost of transportation and organize carpools. This event will be open to more people than the CVD and will be first-come first-serve RSVPs. We will start taking RSVPs by the end of January. Keep your eyes peeled!

Lunch provided


This series of four meetings is designed to help you learn to be an effective mentor, not only for future students you might have, but also for undergraduate students and others you might be supervising right now. It is often said that good mentoring can be learned, but not taught. We will try to teach you, but you all will have to be receptive and ready to learn to make the experience worth your time. Each student you encounter in your careers will be different, and so to be an effective mentor you have to learn strategies that can be applied to deal with different mentoring situations.

During our four meetings, we will discuss approaches to mentoring and provide various case studies that will give you a chance to analyze approaches and decide for yourselves those you think provide effective mentoring strategies. In so doing, we hope you generate for yourselves a mentoring bag of tricks that will help you deal with the myriad interpersonal situations you might expect to encounter during your career.

Our role will be to facilitate the discussions, ask questions, keep the group focused, and point out certain principles of good mentoring as they arise. As you might imagine, your role as an attendee will require you to participate willingly in the discussions, so please come prepared to do just that.
