Mentor Match Event

Join the SANS Trainee Committee on Thursday, April 24, from 08:00-09:00 as they kick off the Conference with a complimentary Mentor Match Event. 

The Mentor Match initiative provides a mechanism for the SANS community to build new bridges with each other, and more specifically, between the faculty and the trainee communities. Once you receive your pairing (via email), we encourage you to connect in advance (virtually) and then connect in person at the event.  Coffee and pastries will be available for participants.
