Title

Women's Mentoring Dinners

Description

At these events, 20 or so women students and post-docs from various UCSF programs and departments (Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., Pharm. D.) have an informal dinner and conversation with an accomplished woman clinician or scientist. The speaker is asked to share the key professional and personal experiences that have shaped her career and life paths, and offer general thoughts and advice on professional success and personal balance.  Question and answer and other interaction between participants are encouraged.

The dinners are held in a formal conference room on the UCSF campus.  They are sponsored by the UCSF Student Academic Enrichment Programs, Women in Life Sciences student organization, and the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on the Status of Women.
