In their second year of PhD studies, EDIC doctoral students should complete an online form listing in order of priority their four preferences for an IC faculty member to replace the first-year contact person. Doctoral students should choose a mentor who is independent of their thesis advisor(s), and outside of their research area. The EDIC program attributes the final mentor.
The mentor is available to discuss any issues related to your academic progress as well as to give you general guidance. You should meet with your mentor at least once or twice a year so that they can:
monitor your progress
listen in strict confidence if you experience difficulties while doing your PhD
give you a more objective point of view if necessary
give guidance for future academic/career choices
The role of a mentor is an important one and it’s up to you to reach out for support … do not hesitate to do so!
