Someone like me June event 2023
Dear Postdoctoral Community,Are you passionate about inclusive mentorship? SURPAS and Bio AIMS have partnered to develop the Someone Like Me (SLM) mentorship program to support senior graduate students and postdocs, especially those from marginalized backgrounds or interested in building an inclusive academic community (more info about SLM below). Join our SLM luncheon Thursday, June 22nd! We will hold activities to engage postdocs and senior graduate students over lunch. Lunch will be provided for all attendees. In partnership with the SURPAS Family Committee, This week’s conversation will focus on the joys & challenges of having family and parental life. WHAT: 2023 SLM luncheon, RSVP hereWHEN: Thurs, June 22nd, 12:00-1:00 pmWHERE: D-CORE (basement of Lane Library)WHO: All grad students, Staff, and PostdocsABOUT SLM/Someone Like Me Mentoring program :While much-guided mentorship occurs during our early graduate career, the final years of graduate school and postdoc time lack structured guidance, relying on personal networks and a few mentors to help us find our career and life path. This lack of resources and advice often leaves us feeling isolated and confused. SLM aims to build a community where we fill these needs, through sharing our experiences (e.g., backgrounds, passions, life trajectories), resources (e.g., grant/fellowship applications, teaching/mentoring tips & opportunities, advice on careers, and the forever-confusing Stanford Bureaucracy), and ideas (e.g., new DEI efforts, outreach). We dream that everyone, across all career stages and backgrounds, feels supported and belongs to science. Your presence is essential to SLM, as each of us constitutes and adds to the Stanford community. SLM is funded through the Diversity and Inclusion Innovation Fund (DIF) through Stanford VPGE.DETAILS ON THE LOCATION OF THE EVENT :We are so excited to have you at our SLM event on 6/22, at noon at the D-CORE!
