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.
