These MDW training modules provide an overview of mentorship, emphasizing its mutual benefits for both the mentor and the mentee. Workshop participants will receive tools and resources for use in their own mentorship. Mentors of every level will find value in participating.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Should you have any questions, please get in touch via <a href=\"mailto:contactus@marscilace.org\">contactus@marscilace.org<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n    <div class=\"gallery gallery-columns-3\">\n                                <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <div class=\"gallery-icon\">\n                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-2048x1365.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\" data-caption=\"\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"featured-image lazyload  \" src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/themes\/mote\/src\/images\/dummy.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A3870-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" alt=\"\"  \/>                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/figure>\n                                <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <div class=\"gallery-icon\">\n                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-2048x1365.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\" data-caption=\"\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"featured-image lazyload  \" src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/themes\/mote\/src\/images\/dummy.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4015-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" alt=\"A black woman handles test tube samples in a laboratory.\"  \/>                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/figure>\n                                <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <div class=\"gallery-icon\">\n                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-2048x1365.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\" data-caption=\"\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"featured-image lazyload  \" src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/themes\/mote\/src\/images\/dummy.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/62A4594-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" alt=\"\"  \/>                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n\n    \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) and Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science&nbsp;<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7525,"parent":9654,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9325","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MarSci-LACE | Mote Marine Laboratory &amp;
