September 11 - Mentoring in the Professions: Tradition and ChallengeTime: 9AM to 11AM Location: The Smithsonian Quadrangle* The Discovery Theater, Room 3111 1000 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20560 Summary: On September 11, 2001, we witnessed a courage thought never to be needed on American soil. In response to the horrors of that day, thousands of public servants jumped into the chaos to save lives, heal the wounded, mourn the dead, and comfort the afflicted. Many were wounded themselves; some tragically lost their own lives while trying to save others. How was such courage possible? In a culture so often thought to promote wants over needs and the self over others, what could have moved women and men to such sacrifice? Where did such selflessness begin to be learned? In a word, mentoring. Mentoring is that long range, elusive but critically important relationship in which knowledge and skill, wisdom and human courage are passed from one generation to the next. At its root, it is the way that we teach others to uphold the best of who we are and what we profess to be. In science and academics, researchers and scholars receive ongoing professional formation in their fields because of the important mentoring they experience. Mentoring in research and science is the overarching process of "passing on the wisdom" of skills and values. In today's culture of economies and metrics, it has a critical importance. It helps to keep alive the memory of why we seek to discover and invent, namely for the good of others especially those most in need. On this day of intense memory for America and the world, this symposium is dedicated to the memory of all those who lost their lives on 9/11, and to those who courageously responded to the terror of that day. In this spirit, symposium panelists will discuss various aspects of mentoring in academics and scientific research as one of the chief means of continuing to pass on the best of who we are in the hope of meeting the needs of those who look to all of us for life and freedom.
