Everwise and NeXXt Scholars

Everwise and NeXXt Scholars Welcome to Everwise, the online mentor-mentee matching partner of the New York Academy of Sciences. Using Everwise is a simple process that will be very self-explanatory. Below are some quick guidelines to help you get acclimated to the platform, and get the most of this experience. Signing up: Use the link that your program coordinator has sent via email. If you lose the link, please request it be sent again-it’s a special link created for each pool of users! You can sign up for an account with any email address, but if you are a student, it is recommended that you use a non-edu email address for this account. User Profile: You will be asked a series of questions about yourself to complete your profile. The first section will be your contact information-please be sure to fill out all sections completely. For your profile, it’s important to be as honest and clear as you can. This profile will help Everwise determine your best match, so please be sure to fill in all content areas thoroughly! Your match will also be able to see some of the content on your profile once the match has been confirmed. This information will let you both become familiar with your matches before interacting. Next Steps: Once your profile is complete and you have submitted it, Everwise will work to create the strongest matches possible between available Scholars and Fellows. You will be notified by Everwise once a match has been made, and then this will be confirmed by your program coordinators. Be patient-it is not an automatic decision! It may take a few days to complete the matching process. Once you have a match and they are confirmed, you are now in a Fellow/Scholar partnership! Congratulations! Everwise will help facilitate your first communications through their scheduling feature. Take advantage of this and start setting up calls, emails, phone calls, etc. with your new match. Everwise will also reach out to you during various check-in points throughout your academic year. Look out for these emails and complete the surveys as requested. Of course, your program coordinators are always available to you if any questions or issues come up throughout your mentorship!
