Title
Achieving the best relationship with your mentor
Abstract
Mentorship is an age old art. It is critical to the academic success of both mentors and mentees. Yet, good mentorship is often elusive and mentees often struggle with adapting to their new role. In this talk, the speaker will review their work in the field of mentorship and identify best practices for mentors. Using a Star Wars analogy, he will also highlight the "dark side" of mentorship, and suggest ways in which to overcome the lure of the dark side!
