Mentoring Undergraduates in Research: Assessing Understanding and Fostering Independence

This workshop for grad students and postdocs is based on the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research’s (CIMER) Entering Mentoring curriculum and will focus on recognizing where undergraduate students are at in their understanding and encouraging them to become independent at an appropriate rate. This is an interactive, scenario-based workshop where participants work with a community of peers to develop and improve their mentoring skills. Participants will start to develop or enhance their own personal mentoring philosophy and leave with a set of strategies to help with mentoring challenges. The workshop is led by CIMER-Certified Facilitator Dr. Heather Coleman (Biology). Another workshop, focused on maintaining effective communication and establishing clear and realistic expectations, is offered Monday, June 8 (9-11 a.m. in Lyman Hall 312).
