CAMPOS Initiative Event

CAMPOS Cafecito/Coffee Break “Mentorship: Its Role and Importance for Latinas in STEM”
Davis, CA

CAMPOS hosts a series of Cafecitos/Coffee Breaks throughout the academic year, for faculty to network and discuss topics relevant to promoting, and sustaining a diverse community of STEM faculty. 

“Mentorship: Its Role and Importance for Latinas in STEM”

  • This Cafecito/Coffee break will consist of three short presentations on: 1) the importance of mentorship within and outside the academic context for the development of a scientist identity and academic success, 2) one of the findings from a study that examined the experiences of Latinas in a public research university who were dismissed and later returned to continue their studies. Focus will be on academic advising and their transition from STEM to Social Science and Humanities majors, 3) the development of scientist identity and how it encompasses mentoring students to reach their full potential both personally and academically.
