What qualifications do you want in your mentor? Would you look for those same qualifications when hiring a faculty mentor? 

This session will explore how to identify qualifications in a mentor that we need vs. want. This self-discovery and practical workshop will explore viewpoints that shape how we perceive the ‘perfect’ mentor and how to align need vs. want to best help ourselves and our community thrive.

Facilitators: Joy McKenna and Maryam Pourmaleki, Postdoc Peer Mentoring Coaches. 

Mentoring Lunches are open to postdocs from all disciplines. Lunch will be provided.
