SAWH   Mentoring   ----xxxxxx Toolkit

Edited by Jennifer Ritterhouse

Welcome to the SAWH Mentoring Toolkit

Have a life now.  You won't get one later. 
Elsa Barkely Brown, in Minority Faculty Experiences, Questions, Questions, Questions

The best ideas are shared ideas, so take advantage of the knowledge of others.
Shannon Frystak, in A Guide to Completing Your Dissertation     

Maintain good relations with the department secretary.
Joan Marie Johnson in Adjuncting     

The SAWH is pleased to offer this resource for its members and friends. We have selected a range of topics of interest to graduate students, young professionals, and even veteran historians. For topics that are particularly rich or complex, such as minority faculty experiences and job searching, we have included multiple entries to reflect different perspectives. We will phase in new topics over time and welcome suggestions and feedback. Email: jritterh@gmu.edu.

The SAWH is indebted to our contributors and past Toolkit editor, Antoinette van Zelm.
