Meet the 2017-2018 Mentors
Sixteen mentors were selected to the ToxMSDT program from different settings: academia, industry and government. Mentors give presentations on their career paths into toxicology and on skills they use currently at work. They interact with mentees through group roundtable discussions. Group activities such as campus tours, meals, and mixers are used to build relationships among mentors and mentees. They also organize a shadowing experience for their mentees.
