Speed Mentoring for Students, Organized by the Student and Early Career Nutrition Interest Groups

Tuesday, June 2, 2020

6:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT

Speed Mentoring is a featured networking event held during the annual conference of ASN for students and early career professionals. It is co-hosted by the Early Career Nutrition Interest Group (ECN) and the Student Interest Group (SIG).

The aim of this event is to connect students with professionals across different fields to provide students with brief mentorship, career advice, and new perspectives about career choices.

This year, the two-hour-long online event will include four 30-min panel discussion sessions highlighting 16 mentors from academia (faculty and postdocs), industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Mentees will have the opportunity to ask questions from the mentors.

This event is by invitation only.
