Thank you to all who were able to join us for our Spring SOAR Mentorship Dinner on Tuesday, April 10, 2018!
The SOAR (Student Outreach to Alumni Resources) Mentorship Program was designed to foster mentorship opportunities across the Stanford Biosciences community. Alumni are a crucial part of what has made this program successful in past years and your participation helps expose current graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to a wide range of career options and pathways.
This program is co-sponsored by the Stanford Medicine Alumni Association and the Stanford Biosciences.
