Speed Mentoring across the Community in Academia and Industry

Evan Shelhamer

West Meeting Room 211-214
[ ]
Thu 17 Jul 7 p.m. PDT — 9 p.m. PDT

Abstract:

Join our mentoring sessions for students, postdocs, and early career industry researchers and engineers. The format is speed mentoring: a group of mentees join a mentor at a table, chat for 15-20 minutes, and then the mentors rotate across the tables and keep the conversation going. This is a great way to discuss a lot of topics in a little time and hear from different perspectives.

While the social is 7-9pm, do feel free to come and go, and join for just the first or second hour if that is what fits your schedule.
