Mentoring Monday: Aligning Expectations

What expectations do you have of your mentee? Have you considered what expectations your mentee has of you? A mentoring compact is a tool for aligning expectations in a mentoring relationship.

During this workshop, we’ll introduce mentoring compacts by differentiating them from a lab manual, discuss how they can be very powerful for mentors and mentees, and begin creating a mentoring compact.

Facilitators: Joy McKenna and Anthony Venida, Postdoc Peer Mentoring Coaches
