Our third mentorship meeting was October 6th at 8:00am in the conference center at prairie meadows. At this meeting we discussed the upcoming IANS convention and different opportunities available to explore today. Emile has attended an IANS convention before, so she shared some tips, and expectations to prepare me for the day.

I will take her advice as I progress through the program and start to balance a greater load of classes and trying to get involved in more on campus.
