OPRN Mentoring
Program
The
mission of the OPRN mentor/mentee program is to provide a supportive
atmosphere for OPRN members who have recently entered the research profession,
recently moved to a new geographic area and/or recently changed positions,
by pairing them in one-to-one relationships with OPRN members willing
to share their professional knowledge and expertise.
