WHEN: Thursday, January 23, 2020
TIME: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET
WHERE: On Twitter with the hashtag #BeyondTheBuzzChat
WHO: @MillionWMentors & @STEMconnector
Please join us on Thursday, January 23 at 3 pm ET for the next Twitter chat in our series of #BeyondTheBuzzChats‘. In this discussion, we want to focus in on raising awareness of mentoring in its various forms, promote the importance of the growth through mentoring, and sharing impactful mentoring stories.
#BeyondTheBuzzChat is part of MWM’s broader Beyond The Buzzword campaign, which seeks to move beyond sideline support for STEM’s many buzzwords, and shows what it takes to actually do them and make an impact. Past topics have included Women’s History Month, what mentoring relationships look like in real-life, and the importance of evaluating success in programs for Girls in STEM.
It’s January 2020, and you know what that means: National Mentoring Month!
