Want to make an impact in the world? There’s no better place to start than with the people around you. This discussion will explore perspectives and strategies for promoting the welfare and flourishing of students, mentees, and colleagues, in both classroom and research settings. We will outline a service-oriented paradigm for mentorship that reframes what it means to make a difference in the world in terms of empowering others to reach their goals and potential. We will also consider various practices for approaching collegial and mentoring relationships in the workplace with the intentional aim of lifting others up. These interactive discussions will equip participants with a practical vision for building a more supportive, integrated, and fruitful work environment wherever they go.

Lunch will be provided.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.

Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.
