CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON GENDER & WOMEN

GRADUATE WOMEN'S MENTORING FORUM

 

 

 

The Graduate Women's Mentoring Forum is sponsored by the Center for Research on Gender & Women.  The Forum brings together graduate students and faculty from various disciplines to informally discuss topics that concern graduate women. Meetings center around a specific topic. One or more faculty members usually share their experience and also guide discussion.
