Mentoring is critical to career success and persistence, and building and understanding mentoring networks will help students to both feel more confident and have tools to be successful in their career journeys. In this workshop, participants will reflect on their career journey and sources of support in that journey using a living document known as a mentor map. Students will also reflect on their own journeys and how that journey may impact their current mentor map. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Describe and identify the different roles that relationships play in their career journey
• Create a pathway map, a living document that can be used to reflect and assess the role they and others play in their professional and personal development
