Book Table 

 

Have you recently published something you are proud of and would like to share? Feel free to bring print copies on the AML-MSH book table for others to browse. (The Book of Enos is also a book, so shorter articles, essays, and the like are welcomed.) If you would like to have copies to sell, please arrange beforehand by reaching out to bjpeters@gmail.com and admin@mormonscholars.net. 

Mentorship Program

 

In addition to the inaugural Granola & Grad School Workshop (open to all, especially in or near grad school) led by Dr. Shawn Tucker (Elon U) at AML-MSH 2025, please watch for the mentoring program committee to contact those who registered their interest in mentorship three to four weeks before the conference.

 

Establishing pairs of more senior and rising professionals, the committee will share the contact information of the more senior person with the rising professional. If interested, that rising professional may then make contact on their own. We leave all the details--when, where, and how to meet (email, text, Zoom, a campus reading room, breakfast in Ephraim, etc.)--to your higher graces. May many new connections follow!
