Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

A great mentoring situation can pave the way for success out of undergraduate or graduate school. Likewise, a poor or unhealthy mentoring relationship can cause lasting negative consequences on the students. Many times these interactions go undiscussed, and one goal of this workshop is to empower students to talk about and take charge of unhealthy mentoring relationships. This student and faculty-led workshop will explore multiple facets of this relationship, including how to identify the right mentor for you, what it means to maintain a good student-mentor relationship, how to identify unhealthy situations, and what resources are available to students who may find themselves in such situations. This workshop will include panel discussion, small-group discussion, panelist-led role-playing, and an open Q&A.
