Realizing Your Mentoring Mosaic

In partnership with Dillard University, the Leadership Alliance hosted a virtual conference on mentoring, Realizing Your Mentoring Mosaic.

This conference highlighted best practices for mentoring individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in biomedical research careers.

We look forward to a captivating pre-recording of "Tongues of the Pandemic Protest 2020". This is a Dillard University's Spring 2021 production directed by the Department of Theatre Arts' Ray Vrazel. This is a moving production of original student monologues expressing thoughts, feelings, life changes, and ideas influenced by the COVID 19 pandemic as well as the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.
