Hispanic Research Mentoring Breakfast

Thursday, April 13
7:00am - 8:30am

The National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families and the Population Association of America (PAA) are pleased to announce a free mentoring and networking breakfast at the PAA annual meeting.

The event is designed to facilitate relationships between mentees (students & new professionals) and mentors (leaders in the field) studying Hispanic populations and/or racial and ethnic equity. Mentors and mentees will have the opportunity to choose among various discussion topics including those related to studying Hispanic populations, equity issues in population studies, and career development more broadly. Participants will be assigned to groups based on topical interest and will have ample opportunity to engage in informal discussions with both their peers and mentors.

If you are interested in serving as a mentor for this event, please complete the mentor registration, here.
