Inaugural Cohort for CHCI Humanities Leaders Mentorship Program
The CHCI Humanities Leaders Mentorship Program is an annual mentorship program for CHCI members, focused on making connections and meeting the everyday challenges of operating centers and institutes for humanities research. We congratulate the participants of the inaugural cohort who have already begun to meet with their mentors and participated in an initial virtual workshop. The program will again open to applications in Q2 of 2025, around the time of our next Annual Meeting, with an August deadline.
