• Clarify the locations of the sessions
• Reword learning objectives

  • List of mentees and their projects
  • List of topics addressed
  • One or two questions submitted in advance by mentees

II. Structure the first session

• Separate the discussion of ground rules from discussion of aligning expectations with mentors. Allow 10-15 minutes for each with the ground rules coming before the discussion of the reading.
