The Art & Art History Mentorship Network
Interested in Mentoring and/or Mentorship?
Join The Art & Art History Mentorship Network!
We’re inviting you to join The Art & Art History Mentorship Network on the Stanford Alumni Mentorship platform (SAM). SAM is a trusted and secure platform where current students and 10,000+ Stanford alums from a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and industries connect and learn from one another.
The AAH Mentorship Network is an invitation-only / admin-approval group within SAM that specifically focuses on connecting affiliates from the Department of Art & Art History, including students and experts of art practice, film, art scholarship and discourse, community-based practices, arts administration, and much more. We encourage members to use this group as a resource to expand their networks and an opportunity to gain industry-specific knowledge and tools. We’re creating this community in two stages: alums are invited starting October 23rd and students can join as of November 15th. We hope to see you there!
