About this event

Zoom link will be sent to registrants before the program.

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 and maintain mentoring relationships and how resources like ucsfconnect.com can help. Finally, you'll brainstorm a plan to build the community you need for success.

Presenter: Naledi Saul, MPM - Director, Office of Career and Professional Development
