With a Little Help from My Friends: The Importance of Mentorship and Sponsorship

Join the annual UC Women in Tech featured presentation. This year, Jenn Stringer, Associate Vice Chancellor for IT and Chief Information Officer at UC Berkeley, will host a talk about the value – particularly for women – of having both mentors and sponsors to help guide them in their careers. She will discuss how a mentor differs from a sponsor, why each are important, how to establish these relationships, and how her own career path was shaped and supported through this crucial network. She will take Q&A from the audience.
