newSTAAR
newSTAAR is a peer mentoring program designed to help each person who joins INSTAAR find their place, make connections, and succeed in their new path and in creating a balanced life.
How it works
If you are new to INSTAAR, you will be automatically enrolled in newSTAAR (with the option to opt out) and paired with a mentor. Your mentor will be a current INSTAAR member, who is as far as possible at your same professional level (e.g., grad student, postdoc, PRA, staff, or faculty). You will meet with your mentor monthly for your first year to discuss navigating INSTAAR, Boulder, academic life, or anything else you have questions about. You will also be invited to attend group gatherings throughout the year to get to know other people, and to learn more about INSTAAR and what it has to offer.
