Are you mentoring or planning to mentor an undergraduate in the laboratory or field? The Science Education Office offers a workshop series for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and other researchers who mentor or seek to mentor undergraduate researchers.

This second workshop intensive focuses on handling challenging situations, celebrating achievements, and supporting student science writing. Through discussion of case studies, you will learn about common mistakes in mentorship and strategies to prevent and address problems. We will also discuss ways to recognize and celebrate success of your mentees. The second part of the mentoring workshop focuses on supporting student science writing. Through examination and analysis of undergraduate writing, you will explore strategies to help you support and improve your mentees skills in writing scientific proposals and abstracts without rewriting those documents yourself.

We encourage you to attend all workshops in the series. Participants who attend all of the workshops in their entirety will be recognized with a certificate of completion.

Workshop Facilitators:
Margaret Lynch, Ph.D., Associate Director of Science Education
Anna Babakhanyan, PhD, MBT, Undergraduate Science Research Advisor Science Education Office
