The Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators (ISEE) at University of California Observatories invites observatory directors and their designees to participate in the Akamai Roundtable with Observatory Leaders.
The Roundtable is a focused session within the two-day Akamai Mentor Summit, which convenes alumni of the Akamai Mentor Workshop and Akamai Program staff to distill and document lessons learned about effective mentoring. While Roundtable participants do not attend the full Summit, they will be briefed on the themes, questions, and products being developed during the Summit and will have an opportunity to recognize the significant contributions and accomplishments of mentors from their observatories.
Who is invited:
Observatory directors (or their designee) are invited to attend, and in addition may bring 2-3 others from their organization.
