The Sociey of Toxicology (SOT) Mentoring Breakfast Planning Committee is pleased to announce the 4th Annual SOT Mentoring Breakfast that will be held at the SOT 2015 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, on Monday, March 23 from 6:15 am–7:45 am! This is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in developing relationships with career mentors. Attendees who attend will experience the following:
- Gain insights to the successful development of a constructive mentoring relationship;
- Provide mentoring facilitators with information about what they are looking for in a mentor; and
- Be personally matched with a mentor who is an SOT member.
This event is limited to 50 mentees on a first-come, first-served basis. An attendance fee of $10 includes a continental breakfast. Interested mentees can sign up for the SOT Mentoring Breakfast through the SOT online registration.
Are you Interested in Becoming a Facilitator?
Facilitators will work with a small group of prospective mentees (3–5) to better understand their goals and needs and help to recommend an ideal mentoring candidate for the mentee. A facilitator also may share experiences and tips that have helped guide them in their own career path. A facilitator can:
- Learn more about the career development needs of today’s Graduate Students and Postdocs;
- Learn more about their own career development; and
- How best to assess the goals and needs of those around them.
Additional training will be arranged for interested facilitators to help them make the most of this opportunity. If you are interested in serving as a facilitator for the Mentoring Breakfast, please contact Erica Bruce for more information.
Please note: Only mentees interested in being matched with a mentor should register for this event. Matching of the registered mentees with a mentor will take place shortly following the SOT 2015 Annual Meeting. If you are interested in being considered as a mentor, please sign up through the SOT Mentor Match website. The Mentor Match system is a convenient, online system available year round to help link like-minded toxicologists seeking either mentors or mentees.
