The primary mentor is the faculty/PI of the lab. However, there should also be a day-to-day mentor (graduate student, post doc, or research faculty). This is a wonderful opportunity to build mentorship skills for those interested in pursuing future faculty positions. This is also a great fit for those who are passionate about broadening participation in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) research and careers. Mentor orientation & training will be offered. For graduate students or postdoctoral trainees, this experience can support the mentor in earning the Graduate College’s Mentoring Certificate.
