Take a Student to Dinner Mentoring Program
Due to the success of the mentoring program in 2018, we are pleased to offer it again in 2020. Students who wish to participate will be paired with a mentor working in the field of coldwater research, conservation, or education, depending on the interests of the student.
Students and their mentors will then head to dinner before the evening social on February 28 for some one-on-one mentoring time. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and explore career opportunities.
Students wishing to participate in this unique opportunity should contact Rachel Kester-- c-rkester@pa.gov-- by Friday, January 31, 2020. There is no cost to the student to participate.
