In this episode we discuss the hard-fought mentoring lessons we have learned not only over the past year, but stretching back to early 2020. We talk about what has gone well and what we still need to work on in the coming year. And we decided being a good mentor comes down to intentionality and being willing to put in the time. 

A few things lessons we discuss:

• Work/life balance and helping students embrace it
• Writing Sprints have been a game changer
• Helping students understand the "hidden curriculum" about their graduate program
  • We talked about A Field Guide to Grad School

Reach us on Twitter and let us know what mentoring lessons you learned in 2021! We'd also love to hear what questions you have about graduate student mentoring or suggestions for future episode topics!
