PM ET. We are hoping to have 1-2 post doctoral fellows and 1-2 graduate students share their experience at MIT. During this panel, there will be a brief introduction by the panelists followed by small breakout rooms where each panelist will be in a group with
~5 graduate students for questions and discussion. Lunch will be reimbursed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

themed “Breakthrough to Excellence.” This conference highlights academic and professional topics that encourage and foster excellence through self-awareness and empowerment. The turbulence of contemporary political and social times calls for an increased ability
to tap into one’s own personal power. This year’s conference will highlight topics such as emotional intelligence, embodied power, resilience, mentoring, civic engagement, and interpersonal communication. Key issues addressed at this conference will include
the rise in divisive political rhetoric, hate crimes, and economic and social inequities. New problems require new solutions and it is essential for scholars and leaders to raise the bar by providing competencies and skills that push boundaries by challenging
structural and societal norms. The 2021 theme encourages attendees to lead and inspire others to Breakthrough to Excellence. The BDN Western Regional Conference is an interdisciplinary event that brings together academics and professionals from the social
sciences, STEM, and humanities to address way to positively impact and inform each other’s work and engage our communities. Submission of abstracts from graduate and doctoral students, recent Ph.D. graduates, and academic professionals across disciplines are
welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

can be taken separately or together. We strongly recommend taking both parts, though, for participants to receive the full training and to make best use of this unique opportunity! Part I starts on Tuesday Feb 16, 9:30am.<br>
8.S396 for Part I — Sharpen Your Professional Strategies & Skills (from Feb 16 to Apr 1, 2021)<br>
8.S397 for Part II — Developing Your Leadership Competencies (from Apr 6 to May 20, 2021)<br>
Open to all Graduate Students and Postdocs at MIT, particularly for School of Science members. The course will be co-facilitated by groups of selected postdocs who are learning to teach this course.
