VIEW ARTICLE Members Make a Connection Through the Mentoring Program Cereal Foods World 53(3):142. The AACC International mentoring program was established in 2005 by the Professional Development Panel with the intent to connect younger members of the association with experienced cereal scientists. Now in its fourth year, more than 100 AACC Intl. members have participated in and benefited from this program. Kim Koch, Northern Crops Institute, North Dakota State University, and Supriya Varma, Rutgers University, made a connection during the 2007 mentoring program. Koch, the mentor, and Varma, the protégé, introduced themselves over e-mail and were able to meet each other while attending a special mentoring event held during the 2007 annual meeting. This article examines the benefits of this mentoring relationship and provides information on how you can become a mentor.
