11:00 am - 12:00 pm | Angel Room
The seas of Berkeley are vast and ever-changing. You can navigate them on your own, but it’s much easier (and more fun) with a sturdy vessel and stalwart crew on your side! This session is designed to outfit you with both. We’ll spend our time together discussing mentorship models and sources, inventorying your current professional networks, connecting with one another, and identifying personally relevant next steps, including campus resources that will help you with whatever “-ship” you’re looking for at this point in your career.
Meaghan DeRespini, M.A. earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Education from NYU and has been in student services at UC Berkeley for almost 10 years, first with continuing education students at UC Extension and then with first year undergraduates in the Fall Program for Freshmen. She co-chairs the BSA Career Development Committee with her friend-colleague Erin Leigh Inama and loves the opportunities that working in higher education provides to foster mentor relationships with both students and fellow colleagues!
Erin Leigh Inama is an advisor with the History Department, where her portfolio includes the undergraduate minor and graduate admissions and career development support. She is delighted to serve as the co-chair of the BSA’s Career Development Committee with her former Extension colleague (and current friend!) Meaghan DeRespini.
