Workshop: On Becoming Better Mentors and Advocates in STEM

In this talk, Dr. Harris will discuss some of her past mentoring experiences and their effects on her self-confidence and her career progression. Based on these experiences, she will share concrete ideas on how to build better mentoring relationships. She also will detail how becoming advocates for systemic and cultural changes in STEM fields provides another way to help create environments in which members of groups who have been historically underrepresented and underserved can thrive authentically in the STEM community.
