MENTORING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS: STRATEGIES FOR HAPPY AND PRODUCTIVE MENTEES AND MENTORS
| This learning community provides an opportunity for mentors of
undergraduate researchers – graduate students, postdoctoral associates,
research staff and faculty – to explore approaches to guiding
undergraduates to become scholars. Interactive sessions
will include discussion of successful mentoring structures,
brainstorming around typical pitfalls, exploring resources and tools for
guiding and assessing student progress, and leading mentees toward
greater independence. Drawing on participants’ experiences,
questions, relevant literature, resources and tools, this learning
community aims to increase positive outcomes for both mentors and
mentees.
