The WICGE Mentorship Program connects mentors and mentees in coastal geoscience and engineering, ranging all career stages and in many different sectors. The program started in 2021 with 19 participants, and since then has grown to include more than 150 people across 34 countries. The program is 100% virtual, with events held throughout the year for members. The WICGE Mentorship Program is only open to WICGE Members. Please make sure you join WICGE before signing up for the mentorship program.


The deadline has passed for the current program, which runs from September 2025 through May 2026. Stay tuned to join the next program in September 2026!

Please note: The WICGE Mentorship Program is designed for professional-development mentoring. We encourage mentor/mentee pairings to discuss topics such as networking, time management, job/graduate school application process, writing strategies (proposal/paper/fellowship), and exploring career opportunities. Mentors and mentees may have a research overlap, and it can be appropriate to ask questions about research strategies, but this program is not designed for research/technical supervision.
