Date: Friday, March 23, 2018 - 11:00am to 1:00pm (lunch included)
Location: Assembly Hall, 4th Floor, Rackham Building
Description:
This workshop centers around an analysis of a series of mentoring interactions that occur between the members of a lab group, including a PI, postdoc, and graduate students. It invites participants to act as critical observers of this extended case study to identify common challenges mentors and mentees face in navigating these high stakes relationships in STEM settings. Participants explore the differing expectations and experiences that faculty and graduate students bring to mentoring relationships, using this exploration to consider the dynamics, processes, and behaviors that commonly create barriers to cultivating successful mentoring relationships and often lead to frustration for both mentor and mentee.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
