Graduate mentoring: program launch
Join us as we give an overview of our new graduate mentoring program and answer any questions you may have.
All graduate students and alumni of LMP are welcome.
Based on feedback, we have changed and are relaunching our mentoring programs for graduate students.
Students were finding it hard to identify suitable mentors and often didn't know how to approach them, particularly alumni mentors.
Now you will complete a registration form and the mentoring committee will match you to the most appropriate mentor or mentee, based on your responses. In this event the Graduate Mentoring Committee will tell you all about the program, how to register, and answer your questions.
