Description

Mentorship has long been at the heart of AGX, fostering the success and well-being of students, faculty, and practitioners alike. In today’s evolving academic and professional landscapes, AGX is launching a formal mentorship program to strengthen these vital connections. Through interactive workshops, participants will co-develop the structure of this program, identifying the types of mentorships needed—from career coaching and publication support to guidance across subdisciplines. Together, we will explore the goals, expectations, and responsibilities of both mentors and mentees, creating guardrails that balance professional growth with community care. Join us in shaping a mentorship culture that reflects the diverse needs of our field and sustains our shared commitment to mutual support. This workshop will focus on an adaptive structure to meet professional and academic goals and challenge as well as identify the needs, limitations and expectations of mentor/mentee relationships.
