Good morning! Mentoring@Purdue has many exciting events coming up. Be sure to mark your calendars! For our 6th Annual Invited Lecture Series, M@P is pleased to introduce Dr. Stacy Blake-Beard! Mark your calendars for her graduate student fireside and lecture: Strategic Mentoring for Graduate Success: A fireside with Dr. Blake-Beard Monday, March 4th 2:00pm-3:30pm PFEN 241 Pushing Traditional Boundaries: Understanding Mentoring Using an Intersectionality Lens Tuesday, March 5th 10:30am-12:00pm PFEN 241 Dr. Stacy Blake-Beard, is the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor of Women and Leadership at Simmons College's School of Management, where she teaches organizational behavior. Dr. Blake-Beard has worked with a number of organizations on the challenges and opportunities offered from a discerning examination of workforce relationships and the forces affecting them. The processes of mentoring and unconscious bias have been two areas in which Dr. Blake-Beard has concentrated her research and practice. Her work on the impact of diversity and inclusion in organizations is exemplified in her collaboration with Stanford University's Clayman Institute for Gender (Mentoring: Creating Mutually Empowering Relationships) and her TEDx talk on mentoring (The Power of Mentoring as a Transformational Process|TEDxUrsulineCollege). Dr. Blake-Beard has published research on gender, diversity, and mentoring in several publications including the Journal of Career Development, the Academy of Management Executive, the Psychology of Women Quarterly, Journal of Management Development, the Journal of Business Ethics, Human Resource Management Journal and The Diversity Factor. Due to the polar vortex, our January workshop "Mentoring the Next Generation of Social Activists" was been postponed and rescheduled for THIS Wednesday Feb. 13th 12-1pm in PFEN 241. Having a mentee who is passionate about social justice can catch even the most effective mentor off guard. To what extent should you direct a student's energy or funnel their interest? What if you are passionate about an issue that isn't your mentor's expertise? How can you motivate your peers to take a more active role in enhancing the community? Join us and our panel of experts in a discussion on how social justice intersects with effective mentoring! If you are unable to attend in person, please join us via webex: https://purdue.webex.com/meet/alexan42 Our February Workshop, Supporting Our LGBTQ+ Students: The Value of Conscious Mentoring, is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 27th 12-1pm in PFEN 241. Stay tuned for more details coming soon! ?
