Mentor training can make the difference between a mutually beneficial and productive mentoring relationship and one that’s draining for the mentor and discouraging for the mentee. Research Mentor Training, based on a nationally-recognized curriculum, gives you space to reflect and reinvigorate and provides concrete tools to support a successful mentor/mentee relationship. The curriculum is designed for graduate students, postdocs, and others who are mentoring an undergraduate researcher. The seminar can be taken for one credit or no credit (for-credit option requires having a mentee).
- Explore multiple strategies for effective mentoring with case studies, discussions, and readings
- Compare mentor and mentee goals, and craft a statement of your mentoring philosophy
- Explore time-management strategies, and discuss relevant issues as they come up
- Collaborate and problem-solve with a group of peers
