In this panel discussion, panelists will answer questions about mentoring and building relationships with mentees, and provide attendees with their perspectives on this invaluable relationship.  This discussion would be good for students at any stage in their research involvement.

Panel Questions:

• How do students find mentors? When they find mentors, what happens?
• When a student connects with faculty, how do they pitch themselves?
• How do students work with faculty? What does it look like? Financially, resources to support students?
• What are some examples of when research experiences went awry for students? What happened? How did your student navigate it?
• With the mentor or other support systems – who were those support systems?
• What happens after a research mentoring relationship ends?  When the research or semester is done?
• Tell us one success story – what is an example of a proud mentor moment?
