#DivSch20: Use your organization's mission statement when you advocate for change. @docfreeride in the plenary

#DivSch20 "Grassroots" pressure can also help leadership make positive changes in mentoring and support of faculty to improve retention.

"No one succeeds in Academia without help," so if you're in a department that wasn't built for you, find your support beyond your department. Especially those who share your experience but also those who can "leverage their privilege" to shift practices. @docfreeride #DivSch20

"The easiest way to deal with a mentor who has a 'one size fits all' approach [that won't work for you] is to decide at the outset you will have more than one mentor." #DivSch20 @docfreeride

"Be open to mentoring from anyone who knows the thing you need to know, and who believes in you more than you believe in yourself."
