Are you mentoring or planning to mentor an undergraduate in the laboratory or field? The Life Sciences Education Office is offering a series of winter/spring workshops for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and other researchers who mentor or seek to mentor undergraduate researchers. Topics include research funding available for undergraduates, writing letters of recommendation, developing research projects with undergraduates, handling potential challenges, and the undergraduate perspective.  
  
Workshop Dates:  
Monday, January 25, 2016 - Recommendation letters & undergraduate fellowships  
Tuesday, February 9, 2016 - Developing research projects with undergraduates  
Wednesday, March 9, 2016 - Handling challenges & celebrating achievements

The first workshop focuses on undergraduate fellowship applications (including summer programs) and recommendation letters.   
  
By participating in this workshop, you will learn which fellowships are available to support undergraduate research. Through a discussion of case studies, you will examine the role of the mentor in the application process, and how to write descriptive and accurate letters of recommendation.  
  
Margaret A. Lynch, PhD, Life Sciences Undergraduate Research Advisor, facilitates this workshop series. We will offer a total of four mentoring workshops this winter and spring. If you would like to attend this workshop, please RSVP to Ricardo Mora at [ricardo\_mora@harvard.edu](mailto:ricardo_mora@harvard.edu).
