Speed Mentoring

Thank you for your interest in participating in this year's Speed Mentoring event, which will take place on Monday, March 22, 2010, from 6:00-7:30 PM. Based on attendee feedback, we’ve made a few changes to this year’s event, so read on for helpful information for both mentors and mentees.  

What is Speed Mentoring?

Speed Mentoring is a networking event at which mentees can ask experienced IACUC professionals those "everything-you've-always-wanted-to-know-but-didn't-know-whom-to-ask" questions. Mentees will have the opportunity to interact with up to five mentors during the course of the event. Mentors, many of whom are conference faculty, are knowledgeable and high-profile professionals with decades of experience in the IACUC field.

How does the event work for mentees?
