OPA Program

It is easy to get bogged down in the day to day of training a mentee to pipette, code, or do field work, but how can you be certain you are optimizing the professional development of all mentees with diverse career interests? 

This session is designed to help mentors and mentees develop strategies to maintain a healthy balance between their mentoring responsibilities and personal well-being. Participants will engage in activities that foster connection, explore challenges to well-being, and learn practical techniques for managing stress, setting boundaries, and supporting one another.
