STEM mentoring workshops offered for faculty, staff, grad students

February 18, 2015  


Jennifer R. Cohen, a biochemist and experienced advocate for diversity and mentoring in STEM disciplines, will lead two workshops March 4-5 presented by Mentoring@Purdue, a program in the College of Agriculture. The workshops are open to all disciplines at Purdue.

The events constitute Mentoring@Purdue's third annual Invited Lecture Series. Cohen holds a doctorate in biochemistry from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 2013, she began a year as a science and technology fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In that role, she used data and analysis to improve methods of communication, including mentoring in general and community among minorities, in science disciplines. Her work also seeks to overcome racial and gender stereotyping.

The events and primary intended audience are:

* March 4: Graduate Student Workshop: "In Search of Building Highly Effective Professional Relationships." 2-3:30 p.m. Stewart Center, Room 218AB.

* March 5: Faculty & Staff Workshop: "Strategies to Continue to Lift as You Climb." 10:30 a.m.-noon. Stewart Center, Room 214AB.

Mentoring@Purdue is housed in the Department of Youth Development and Agricultural Education. For more about the program, go to www.ydae.purdue.edu/MAP/index.cfm.
