WiC wrapped up our inaugural First-Year Mentoring Program with a dinner at Jolly Pumpkin in Hyde Park. Mentors and mentees chatted about their experiences this year in teaching, classes, and conducting research. We look forward to maintaining these new connections through the rest of our PhD careers!
The WiC First-Year Mentoring Program provides support for the first-year graduate women in the UChicago Chemistry Department by pairing them with an older graduate mentor from WiC. Our goal is to help integrate students into the department and university communities, while also alleviating some of the stress of starting graduate school.
