Mentor Program:

If this is your first time attending the OHA Annual Meeting, we encourage you to sign up for the OHA Mentorship Program. The purpose of this program is to pair people who are new to the OHA Annual Meeting with established oral historians. The program brings together oral historians seeking connection, mentorship, networking opportunities and space for professional growth around a shared interest or affiliation. Small groups and pairs will be established to meet at the Annual Meeting and virtually throughout the year. Mentors can help you navigate the Meeting and may be able to provide advice about the field or suggestions for starting or continuing your career. Sign up below to be a mentee. If you would like to be a mentor, please fill out the form and add your area of expertise.
