SMS Strategic Human Capital IG Doctoral Mentoring Program: Call for Doctoral Students
The Strategic Human Capital Interest Group is now accepting applications from mentees for our Doctoral Mentoring Program. We had a successful year of the program, and we thank our incredible faculty mentors- Aliasghar Bahoo-Torodi, Heejung Byun, Rhett Brymer, Federica De Stefano, Dorothea Roumpi, and Mike Ulrich-who provided transformational mentorship and support to our doctoral students last year.
The program is intended for doctoral students who are past qualifiers and are in the dissertation stage. We are soliciting applications from eligible doctoral students to participate as mentees. This year's program will start in February 2025 and continue for a year until December 2025.

***Please forward this call to your doctoral students who are doing work in the strategic human capital area***
The program overview:
This program is aimed at supporting doctoral students in the area of strategic human capital. The intended student participants will have passed their qualifiers and be in the process of working on their dissertations in the area of strategic human capital. The plan for the mentoring program will be to match junior faculty and doctoral students in small groups. We aim to have 2 faculty mentors and 3 doctoral students per group so that students can benefit from small group interactions with both mentors and peers. The groups will stay intact for a year, with the opportunity to scramble and join another mentoring group after this time. Specifically, after one year, participants can reapply to the program to get matched into a new group or may graduate into our pre-tenure faculty mentoring program. Doctoral mentoring groups will hold calls quarterly (exact time determined by groups), which may either focus on specific topics that we provide for guidance or on topics that groups determine themselves.
Following the application period, the organizers will form groups, and the kickoff call will take place in February.
This year's program will have the following structure (all meetings will be over Zoom):
• Program kickoff and orientation
• Four quarterly group calls – exact dates to be determined by groups
• Job-market Q&A call with faculty "What's in the mind of a Recruiting Committee"
• Invitation to attend topic calls from the pre-tenure mentoring program "Mind of an Editor" and "Tenure Letter Writers" featuring journal editors and senior scholars
