Join us for an interactive workshop about best practices for mentoring undergraduate researchers. You will learn evidence-based mentoring techniques and engage with tools that you can use right now to enhance your mentoring practice. This workshop is ideal for the mentors of undergraduate researchers who would like to refine their mentoring practices or who are first time mentors to undergraduate researchers. We are offering two workshop sessions that will include the same content, one on Zoom and one in person (in person includes lunch!). Registration is required and space is limited. Sign-up now!
Sponsored by the Cornell University Graduate School, College of Engineering, and the Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS), and open to all who will soon be mentoring undergraduate scholars conducting research (in any discipline).
As a bonus, we will share new FAIM tools and resources being developed at Cornell, primarily designed for use in graduate education and the professoriate, but highly relevant to mentors at all levels. Feel free to check them out in advance!
