Informal mentoring relationships we establish ourselves can often be more helpful and satisfying than formal assigned mentors. It takes time, intention and strategy to build such networks, and the “rules” for doing so aren’t always clear. Join three Duke professors at different career stages and across different disciplines to learn what’s worked for them — and what might work for you.
