The AAMAS 2018 doctoral mentoring program is intended for Ph.D. students in
advanced stages of their research. This program will provide an opportunity for

receive feedback on their work and to get advice on managing their careers.

and documents, except the recommendation letter (see below)

Specifically, the goals of the program are:
-------------------------------------------

To match each student with an established researcher in the community who will
act as a mentor. The mentor will interact closely with the student, provide
feedback on research, and help the student form new contacts.
To allow students an opportunity to present their work to a friendly audience of
other students as well as mentors.

To provide students with new contacts and professional networking opportunities.
The doctoral mentoring program will consist of a one day doctoral symposium and
the opportunity for interaction between mentors and their mentees during the
conference.
