Equity-Minded Mentoring for Graduate Students

NEW CITL Graduate Certificate Program - Winter 2023

Five Tuesdays in Winter at 9:00 - 11:00am: January 17, January 31, February 14, February 28, and March 14

 

Are you a graduate student in a STEM field who is interested in developing mentorship skills to build inclusive, supportive research environments? If so, consider participating in CITL’s Equity-Minded Mentoring for Graduate Students Certificate Program. 

 

In this program, you and your colleagues will meet bi-weekly (5 sessions total) during Winter quarter to explore and practice strategies known from research to support underrepresented students in STEM and STEM-related environments, particularly those from racially minoritized groups, including:

 

  • Establishing and co-creating clear expectations for the mentoring relationship;

  • Communicating effectively and with attention to how different life experiences, identities, and positions of power shape participation in and experiences in STEM fields;

  • Promoting students’ sense of belonging and science identities.

 

In between our bi-weekly meetings, you will have the opportunity to engage with brief readings and draft your own mentoring philosophy. 

 

Join us if you’d like to be part of a new generation of researchers committed to changing research culture through equity-minded mentoring!

 

Register here between November 10 and December 7 at 12:00 noon. A waitlist will automatically open up at the same registration link after 25 people have registered. We will contact registrants and waitlisters about your status soon after open registration closes on December 7.
