Description: 

Mentoring is a powerful practice that facilitates learning, development and growth in individuals and professions. Moreover, effective mentoring creates safe spaces to ask hard questions, acquire new knowledge and share experiences. Whether launching or advancing one’s career, seeking personal development opportunities, or nurturing the desire to make meaningful connections with others, mentoring helps to foster belonging and creates more inclusive pathways to opportunity and success. This session features a panel of mentors and their mentees who will share their challenges and successes with mentoring, as well as their tips for how to make the most of mentoring opportunities. Panelists will discuss how both formal mentoring programs and informal mentoring relationships can serve as pathways to long-term collaboration and mutual support.
