Join the UCLA Center for Education Innovation & Learning in the Sciences (CEILS) in a collaborative space designed for faculty mentors and mentees to strengthen their mentoring relationships and co-create actionable plans through engaging case studies and activities. Built on the nationally recognized and peer-reviewed curriculum from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research, enjoy this space to focus on your mentoring partnership! Light snacks will be provided—feel free to bring your own lunch!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This space is designed for mentors + up to 2 graduate students (or postdocs). Mentors or students should not attend alone as that is not the goal of the space. Thank you!
