GradFUTURES Forum 2021: Mentorship Best Practices: A Conversation.

Details

Event Description

A major component of many careers - both within and beyond the academy - is mentoring trainees, yet graduate students often don't have formal opportunities to develop mentoring expertise. Since mentoring profoundly affects the well-being of individuals and teams, and consequently, scientific productivity and success, Drs. Niv and Murray designed the first-ever for-credit graduate course on mentoring at Princeton. While there is no magic formula, there are evidence-based best practices for mentoring, as well as field-tested ways to develop a reflective and inclusive personal style. In this session, they will share their insights into mentoring best practices, and you’ll hear from current graduate students in the course on their experiences.
 
Speakers: 

Dr. Laura Murray, Associate Director, McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, Princeton University
Professor Yael Niv, Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton Univesity

 Laura Bustamante, Ph.D. Candidate in Neuroscience

Mira Nencheva, Ph.D. Candidate in Neuroscience
