Mentorship is a powerful tool for personal and professional development, and a cornerstone of inclusive and thriving academic communities. Join us for this WiCS event focused on the vital role mentoring relationships play in navigating the challenges and opportunities of an academic career.
This event will feature a panel of speakers including early-career and established academics: Dr Lisa Fazio, Dr. Lorraine Hope, Rein Robbins, and Dr Tori Peña, who will share their personal experiences with mentorship—both as mentors and mentees. Panellists will reflect on how these relationships have shaped their paths, supported their growth, and helped them overcome pivotal moments in their careers.
Following the panel, attendees will participate in small-group discussions centred around a variety of real-world mentorship scenarios. These conversations will offer a chance to explore different challenges that may occur within mentoring relationships, and to gain practical insights into how to build and maintain meaningful mentoring relationships.
We look forward to seeing you at the event!
