Join Dean Linda Mason for a unstructured discussion on mentoring. Discussions are loosely based on the curriculum developed by the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) and include the following topics this semester: maintaining effective communication with your mentor, aligning expectations in your mentoring relationship, and do you need multiple mentors? Each discussion will feature one of these topics. The discussions are intended to help graduate students strengthen their mentoring relationships with their major professors and other mentors in their academic career.
