论文摘要
在大流行的早期，我们 - 编程语言研究领域（PL）和计算机架构（CA）的领导者 - 意识到我们有一个问题：在社区中建立新的持久联系的唯一方法是在社区中已经建立了持久的联系。我们的两个学术社区都有出色的短期指导计划来解决这个问题，但是很明显，我们需要长期的指导计划。 我们中的那些人在科学上对此进行了接近，为社区范围内的长期指导提供了循证的案例。同时，我们中的一个人冲动地启动了一个在混乱和电子表格上建立的非官方长期指导计划。 2021年1月，后者加入了一个官方的跨机构长期指导计划，名为Sigplan-M； 2022年1月，前者发展到计算机建筑长期指导（镇静）。 影响力很大：Sigplan-M在41个国家 /地区吸引了328名受训者和234名导师，而受训者将其描述为“改变生活”和“职业救助者”。尽管在7个国家 /地区有13名导师和21名受训者，但镇定阶段正处于飞行阶段，但它得到了非常积极的反馈。 Sigplan-M和Calm的领导者在此过程中分享了我们的设计，影响和挑战。现在，我们希望与您分享。我们希望这将在所有计算机科学中开始更大的长期指导工作。
Early in the pandemic, we -- leaders in the research areas of programming languages (PL) and computer architecture (CA) -- realized that we had a problem: the only way to form new lasting connections in the community was to already have lasting connections in the community. Both of our academic communities had wonderful short-term mentoring programs to address this problem, but it was clear that we needed long-term mentoring programs. Those of us in CA approached this scientifically, making an evidence-backed case for community-wide long-term mentoring. In the meantime, one of us in PL had impulsively launched an unofficial long-term mentoring program, founded on chaos and spreadsheets. In January 2021, the latter grew to an official cross-institutional long-term mentoring program called SIGPLAN-M; in January 2022, the former grew to Computer Architecture Long-term Mentoring (CALM). The impacts have been strong: SIGPLAN-M reaches 328 mentees and 234 mentors across 41 countries, and mentees have described it as "life changing" and "a career saver." And while CALM is in its pilot phase -- with 13 mentors and 21 mentees across 7 countries -- it has received very positive feedback. The leaders of SIGPLAN-M and CALM shared our designs, impacts, and challenges along the way. Now, we wish to share those with you. We hope this will kick-start a larger long-term mentoring effort across all of computer science.
