The mentoring and advising of undergraduates is central to our role as teachers and researchers. Come to this brown bag discussion, led by Jan Tullis (Geology) to share experiences and concerns in supporting undergraduates as they navigate their academic courses, select concentrations, and find appropriate research experiences and transition to life after Brown. Bring a brown-bag lunch. RSVP at sheridan.brown.edu.

Join us at the Sheridan Center to hear guest faculty from various institutions share their experiences as a faculty member, and their career paths that led to their academic positions.
