| Details | Mentorship occurs in every profession. Mentors can be a positive or negative influence in a young professional's career and have the potential to shape the career directions of that young professional for years to come. Regardless if you are a seasoned project manager with 25 years of experience or a staff level engineer with only a couple of years of experience under your belt, sooner or later you will be in the position to be a mentor to someone in your respective field of expertise. How do you identify if someone wants to mentor you? How do you engage someone to become your mentor? How do these mentor/protégé relationships form? Come join the ASCE OC Mentorship Committee as they host a professional panel on the importance of mentorship in the civil engineering field. Four professional panelists will share their own experiences in the hopes of cultivating the minds of potential mentors and/or protégés everywhere. Below are our panelists and their biographies.
