    It can be so awkward to find a mentor. Cold-calling, asking for help, and being vulnerable are often overlooked steps for the more glamorous companionship that mentorship is usually known for. In this panel, experienced professionals across career stages dive into how we can all find a mentoring relationship that serves both the mentor and the mentee.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Recognize traits in people that could make them a good mentor
    • Create a list for potential mentors attendees will reach out to after the panel
    • Identify what a good mentor/mentee match looks like and how to develop the relationship further
