Fall Graduate Student Mentor Training Course Accepting Applications
By Julia Sepulveda, Senior Program Associate, CRA-E
During the fall term, the UR2PhD team will offer the graduate student mentor training course, a course that provides professional development opportunities for mentors of undergraduate researchers.
The graduate student mentor training course prepares participants for understanding how to cultivate strong and effective mentoring relationships in research environments, how to apply best practices in a practical manner, and how to sustain welcoming environments with mentees. The course provides participants with an opportunity to reflect on their past experiences and to interrogate who they want to be as mentors.
Graduate students who successfully complete the course are eligible to receive a $1,000 stipend.
To participate in the course, students must be actively mentoring undergraduate students on a computing research project. Priority will be given to students who are mentoring participants in the UR2PhD undergraduate research methods course. To indicate interest in the course, students should complete this form before August 23, 2024.
Students at institutional partner schools should speak to their local coordinator to inquire about how to get involved in the program. Institutional partner schools include: Barnard College, Boston University, New Mexico State University, University of Alberta, University of California Riverside, University of North Texas, University of Waterloo, and Wellesley College.
