The College of Fellows (COF) Mentors assist prospective new Fellows by serving as a resource for CSI members working on their submission packages for consideration by the Jury of Fellows, for elevation to Fellow. This is a great way for Fellows to give back to their CSI colleagues and to contribute to the CSI Fellows Community.
Fellows interested in serving as Fellowship Mentors are encouraged to click on the “Apply Now” link above and submit their name and contact information for consideration.
As a Fellowship Mentor, your name and contact information will be listed College of Fellows’ Directory of Mentors, on CSIResources.org.
