STEP Speed Mentoring: Individual and Group Mentoring
The Students and Emerging Professionals (STEP) Network presents an opportunity for Speed Mentoring at the conference.

Mentees will have the opportunity to practice their self-introductions and be clear about their objectives for potential mentoring. In the group session, mentees will have at least two rounds in a group setting to discuss career or leadership questions. Participants for all sessions must complete a short survey to confirm participation in this limited space event. Click here to sign up and plan to attend one of the following sessions:
