Examples of topics we will discuss:

> Funding

> How to find a mentor

> How to maximize your mentor-mentee relatio

> Building a network

> Managing (your advisor, etc.) up

> Any other topics you want to discuss

This will be a casual conversation, round-table style so please bring your questions and wisdom to share at this session. Join us on Thursday, November 10th from 12PM to 1:30PM.
