    The quality of the mentorship relationship is one of the strongest predictors of doctoral student success.  The way that relationship begins can influence the trajectory of that relationship.  Problems between mentors and mentees often arise from misunderstandings of expectations and/or changing expectations over time.

    In this workshop, which is the first in a series of six, we will discuss how to establish mutually beneficial expectations and how to clearly communicate those expectations to mentees.

    Breakfast will be provided.
