On April 18, Cindy Simpson and Gail Gasparich visited Lehigh University representing AWIS and spoke with some participants of our Interdisciplinary Networking Committee mentoring program about faculty mentoring of graduate students. Topics covered were broad and included work-life balance, working with students who have their own funding and how to cultivate independent questioning and intellectual curiosity while supporting your own research goals. The slides are available for viewing.
