Overview
Everyone will tell you that mentorship is important, but how does a student or postdoc find mentors? In this workshop, we'll discuss the types of mentors there are and you'll identify which ones you need to develop your mentoring team. We'll then discuss how students and postdocs establish, maintain, and even end mentoring relationships. Finally, you'll brainstorm a plan to build the community you need for success.
The learning outcomes for this session are to:
- Define what mentorship is and describe the benefits of mentorship
- Categorize five different types of mentors every student and postdoc needs
- Analyze what types of mentorship you have in your own life
- Identify which mentors you need to seek now and why
- Develop different strategies to find your mentors
