Mentoring at Gladstone
Part of Gladstone’s mission is to train future scientific leaders. We know that mentorship is a key driver of success and is a vital part of the work and training at Gladstone. We have a Mentoring Committee that actively assesses how to promote and enrich mentoring efforts. They also coordinate career development opportunities and host events where trainees can form deeper connections with more senior scientists.
We also provide opportunities for our trainees to develop their own mentoring skills. Through the PUMAS Summer Internship Program, graduate students and postdocs work with community college students over the summer, building their leadership skills while helping the next generation gain hands-on lab experience.
