Mix and Mentor

When: Friday October 10, 8:00pm - 9:30pm
Where: Poindexter Coffee, 210 S Dubuque St
On Friday, October 10, GBW will host a “Mix and Mentor” event from 8:00pm - 9:30 pm at Poindexter Coffee, located just off the lobby of Graduate by Hilton Iowa City, the conference hotel for Standards 2025.

Interested participants may register to “speed-meet” colleagues and potential
friends in a fun, lightly structured environment. We are hoping that this community
event will be a chance to find people to collaborate or share skills with, explore
common interests, meet new people, or learn something new about an old friend.

Registration is limited.
