I feel like I've constantly been in survivable mode my whole career, and guidance on aspect specific to succeeding long-term in Hawaii would be useful.

Further mixing and encouragement of inter-department, inter-school relationships is needed. Mentor-mentee across campus, disciplines, departments, and schools is an opportunity to further reduce the gender, racial, career-level disparities that exist.

They asked about my personal life (not to a point of being too invasive) in order to assess any periods in time when I was less productive without assuming that I was simply procrastinating or being off task. Knowing that they also prioritized my mental and physical health gave me the confidence to communicate when I wasn't feeling well or up to the challenge and thus expectations on both sides were clear.

It's weird to have to schedule meetings with my mentor instead of dropping by their office if I have a question about something. Having not seen my mentor in person much since I started grad school, it definitely feels less personal of a mentorship than mentorships in past. But I still commend my mentor, who has organized ways for me and other grad students to connect during this time to keep morale up.

It's weird to have to schedule meetings with my mentor instead of dropping by their office if I have a question about something.

Regular Zoom meetings are key. I know that at least one time a week my mentor is available to put their other work aside to focus on my work, which is really helpful because I know a lot of faculty are in and out of Zoom meetings all day and thus unable to always make time for their students when necessary.

Opportunities for peer-to-peer mentoring should be enhanced, especially for postdocs.

I've had really great experiences with both of my mentors in SOEST and I think that they're great examples of mentors who communicate their expectations but also listen when you communicate yours. Of course, the biggest issue is not being able to work with them in person (which is so much easier) but that's not under anyone's control due to the pandemic.

What activities does SOEST help to organize for postdocs? Are there opportunities for advising postdocs about onboarding, networking, peer-to-peer mentoring, offboarding, etc?
