MENTEE<\/sup> “It was one of the rarest opportunities to finally ask questions that were only in my heart related to life as a female researcher and professor. Topics including career, family, and struggles specific to women were all valuable discussions, and learned a lot from the mentors’ and peers’ experiences.”<\/em><\/p>\n\nMENTEE<\/sup> “The diverse perspectives and experiences of both the mentors and fellow participants enriched our discussions, enabling me to challenge my assumptions. The circle with female professor mentors fostered a supportive and empowering environment for aspiring researchers like me.”<\/em><\/p>\n\nMENTEE<\/sup> “The circles are a unique welcoming and supportive space to share and listen to both female peers’ and leaders’ experiences in their careers. It was very interesting to hear the female perspective of an academic career, about which I unfortunately hadn’t heard before.”<\/em><\/p>\n\nMENTEE<\/sup> “ADVANCE circles have been a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend participating. I learned so much from the mentors and my peers and am leaving feeling more confident and prepared for the PhD years ahead!”<\/em><\/p>\n\nMENTOR<\/sup> “As a mentor, I was glad to be able to ‘give forward’ in a space created by the university (or more specifically, the Gender Equality Office). I had informal mentees before, but this always required more planning. The circle created a group atmosphere where support and input were not only coming from the mentors but also from the peers themselves, which I found very valuable.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
