The National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families and the SRCD Latinx Caucus are excited to host a mentoring and networking event aimed at promoting the growth of emerging scholars. This event will connect students and early-career professionals with experienced mentors who are leaders in the field, creating opportunities for meaningful conversations and professional development.
Participants will engage in informal discussions covering a range of topics, including grant writing and fundraising, navigating academic and non-academic career paths, strategies for productivity in graduate school, and best practices for conducting research on Hispanic populations. The event is designed to encourage group interactions, allowing mentees to gain insights not only from mentors but also from their peers.
Whether you are looking for guidance on career advancement, research methodologies, or work-life balance, this event offers a supportive space to exchange ideas, ask questions, and build lasting professional connections. Join us for an engaging and collaborative experience that will help shape the next generation of scholars in the field.
Snacks and refreshments will be served.
