-Making a good first impression
-Navigating company culture and determining priorities
-Understanding performance reviews and promotion criteria
-Addressing gender biases in the workplace and gaps in recognition and promotion opportunities
Panelists:
- Cate Mingoya-LaFortune, National Director of Climate Resilience and Land Use, Groundworks USA, MIT MCP (2015)

This workshop is open to all MIT students and postdocs. Registration required via Handshake.
We hope to create a space where those identifying as women can share their thoughts and concerns about navigating a new work environment. Come prepared with questions! After a few starter questions from moderators, the session will be open to questions from the audience.
