This article details the experience of one Educational Technology program's efforts to use the Association of Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) as an integral part of the mentoring experience for its graduate students. Outlined is how the program has held the resident doctoral seminar at annual AECT conferences and at the Summer Leadership meetings. In addition, anecdotes written by four different students detail their experiences being mentored within the AECT organization and how it has impacted them as new professionals within the field of Educational Technology.
