Not really a mentorship meeting, more like a "role models" meeting.
Whatever path you take, what can you expect life to look like in 5 or 20 or 40 years? Is this the path you want?
Example: The Queen's University immigrant.
Easy to find role models in academia - your profs., people like me. You've seen this so much you really want to move on and look at other thing. I'd better shut up and give the stage to others.
There are more than 3 "others" in the world, and further paths…
Three math alumni walk into a bar.
Bar: Do you all want beer?
Alum 1: I dunno.
Alum 2: I dunno.
Alum 3: I know!
Q: What did they know? How many had beer?
