Past Event: NTID Network-Based Mentoring Sessions

Earlier this fall, AdvanceRIT and NTID held sessions for NTID faculty and academic leaders to encourage network-based mentoring to support faculty connections.

Formal mentoring programs have been largely designed to fit this traditional definition.
