Without mentors, people may miss out on receiving critical support, especially when it matters most; however, strong mentoring relationships do not happen by chance. In this webinar, explore the benefits of professional and personal benefits of mentoring networks and the principles of managing up. Instructors will also explore ways to improve communication with principal investigators and other mentors, ensuring people receive support to thrive academically and professionally. Finally, instructors will talk about options when important mentors let people down with a framework for addressing concerns as needed.
