[Dana Bresee Keeth]

Notice forwarded by Sarah Hokanson (sch1 at bu.edu<mailto:sch1 at bu.edu>), Boston University:
Postdocs across Boston are welcome to participate, and the CRLT Players event is open to faculty too.

CRLT Players<http://www.crlt.umich.edu/crltplayers> Performance – Workshop for Faculty and Postdocs
Monday, March 4, 2019 | 12:00 – 3:00 pm (lunch provided)
Boston University, Metcalf Trustee Ballroom, 1 Silber Way, Boston, MA 02215

This workshop centers around an analysis of a series of mentoring interactions that occur between the members of a lab group, including a PI, postdoc, and graduate students. It invites participants to act as critical observers of a theater-based extended case study to identify common challenges mentors and mentees face in navigating these high stakes relationships in STEM settings. Participants explore the differing expectations and experiences that faculty and graduate students bring to mentoring relationships, using this exploration to consider the dynamics, processes, and behaviors that commonly create barriers to cultivating successful mentoring relationships and often lead to frustration for both mentor and mentee.

Optimizing Your Mentoring Relationships: Building a Mentoring Network
Wednesday, March 6, 2019 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (lunch provided)
Boston University, Bay State & Castle Rooms, Hillel House, 213 Bay State Rd, Boston, MA 02215

In this workshop with Dr. Melissa McDaniels from Michigan State University, graduate student and postdoctoral participants will be urged to think about the proactive roles they can play in ‘mentoring up’ – strategically and authentically negotiating their constellation of mentoring relationships. Using this lens, participants will be brought through a series of guided conversations and exercises to help them thing about how they might ‘map’ their mentoring networks, anchored by professional competencies, to empower themselves to optimize all mentoring relationships. Proactive engagement does not discount the responsibilities of the mentor – it instead will help participants think about what they can do to get (and contribute) to professional relationships.”
