Hello everyone!

Please join Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) for the Recognizing and Addressing Implicit Bias workshop on Wednesday, September 26th from noon-1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241!

Gender, Race, Age--We all have unconscious beliefs and biases that can cloud judgement and affect relationships. To form an effective relationship with your mentee/mentor, it is important to recognize these  unconscious or implicit biases. 

Join us for an interactive workshop on how we can  recognize our own implicit biases and prevent it from negatively affecting our mentoring relationships

M@P is a mentoring program designed with women and minority graduate students at Purdue University in mind. M@P aims to improve the quality of graduate education through fostering mentoring relationships between graduate students and faculty or staff members in the Agricultural and Life Sciences. Mentoring has played a crucial role in the success of many individuals, especially those that are generally underserved. The M@P program helps students grow professionally, academically, and personally to become successful individuals in their chosen area of study.

M@P is designed to meet the mentoring needs of the mentors and mentees in the program through events, group forums, guest speakers, and workshops. As a participant in M@P, you will have numerous opportunities for academic and personal growth, support, encouragement, and assistance. M@P will provide training and guidance to both parties on how to have an effective mentor-mentee relationship.

On behalf of the entire M@P team,
