Mentoring Circles for the 2024-2025 Cycle
We are excited to announce that the AWIS-PHL Mentoring Circle Program will be back again starting in October! This is a popular program where junior scientists in the Philadelphia area meet once a month with mentors to discuss issues in both career and life. It is also a great opportunity to network with area scientists and meet members of AWIS-PHL.
