FAQs
“I liked how casual it was and it was really focused on the needs of the individual person and what they were looking for in a mentor.”
“I really enjoyed participating in the Coffee with a Scholar program. Although my mentor and I were not perfect matches based on substantive research interests, we had a great time during our SSWR meeting and I felt that we connected really well.
