Mentoring and Networking Committee

The IHW Mentoring and Networking Committee strives to support growth and development of individuals in the herpesvirus field.

Objectives:

• To provide a learning environment where people are able to contribute and thrive.
• Actively promote voices and ideas in our research and scientific communities.
• Recruit and retain scientists and trainees to the herpesvirus field.

Our strategies include:

1. Offering mentoring events that include both mentor-trainee pairing/coaching, as well as mentor training
2. Fostering a networking community for scientists
3. Creating scholarship opportunities that will encourage/attract scientists and trainees to IHW
4. Achieve long-term sustainability of these programs through funding, philanthropy and grant support

Interested in becoming more involved? We are recruiting for all career levels (trainees encouraged!) to join the committee. Contact ihw@conferencesolutionsinc.com for more details.
