Abstract
Strong mentoring relationships improve the success of students in academia and must be the foundation for increasing diversity in STEM. We developed an innovative skills-based training workshop to teach effective communication in mentoring and build awareness of diversity issues in STEM. The workshop was interactive and included open discussions, improvisational theater exercises, and activities in understanding privilege and building empathy. This workshop can improve mentoring relationships and increase equity and inclusion in academia.
