Being a "good mentor" often requires seemingly opposite expectations. How do I encourage my mentees' independence while still giving them enough support to succeed? How do I maintain boundaries for a productive professional, yet personal, relationship? How do I provide critical feedback and advice without crushing my mentees' spirits? This session is dedicated to recognizing the many dilemmas we face as mentors and best practices for managing those dilemmas during our conversations with mentees.

Open to faculty and staff who mentor graduate students.
