MIPA Mentors
Advising can be a lonely job, but MIPA is here to help. In 2004, the MIPA board began a mentorship program for new advisers or those with only a few years of advising experience. Since then more than 60 beginning journalism advisers have been paired with experienced advisers from around the state.
MIPA Adviser Listservs
The MIPA Advisers Listserv is provided as a MIPA membership benefit to allow advisers to share successes, seek advice and network with each other.
