The 2011 Minority Mentoring and Poster Reception was a networking opportunity for minority students, postdocs, fellows and junior faculty to connect with mentors addressing various topics and the career challenges they face.   

 

The reception also gave trainees the opportunity to showcase their research and receive valuable feedback from renowned scientists in the field, Society members and other trainees who shared similar interests. During the reception, volunteer judges scored each poster and identified four trainees to receive cash awards for excellence in endocrine-related research.  Congrulations to the recipients of the 2011 Minority Mentoring & Poster Reception Poster Award:
