Mentoring Circles are focused on preparing for a career as a faculty member. Circles will be made of two Professors and 4-6 graduate students or postdocs. EACC will provide circles with sample schedule and discussion topics. The goal of this Mentoring Circle program is for graduate students/postdocs to identify achievable goals for themselves, which will help them establish a timeline from PhD to Professorship.

 

 

When: Meet twice a month for 1hr from May to August (8 meetings total, dates below).

Where: Virtual OR in-person options available.
