Listening Sessions and Workshops Information
LISTENING SESSIONS
The committee actively solicited input about lived mentoring experiences via “listening sessions.” These activities lasted between 45 and 90 minutes (depending on the venue) and included an overview of the science of mentorship. The participants were then guided through three activities by 1 to 3 members of the committee: (1) they wrote down questions or ideas about theory, research, and practice of mentorship; (2) they discussed their lived mentoring experiences in small groups, focusing on what they had found to be useful for effective mentoring relationships; and (3) they described characteristics, features, and content that might be useful for the online guide. In total, 18 sessions were held at the following venues:
- American Psychological Association (August 11, 2018)
- University of Maryland Student Success Institute (August 18, 2018)
- A discussion with graduate students and postdocs from the University of Virginia (September 24, 2018)

Workshop 1
Workshop on Inclusive Mentorship Excellence in STEMM: New Knowledge, Ideas, and Practice (Washington, D.C., April 11–12, 2018)
Designed to identify successful evidence-based practices and metrics for mentorship in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) career pathways, the first workshop targeted 40 to 50 thought leaders in practice, research, and theory related to effective mentorship in STEMM. The particular focus of the event was on identifying emergent knowledge, theories, research methods, and practices across disciplines, domains, and developmental stages.
