MENTORSHIPS

Mentorships offer the opportunity to talk about the future of the field and educational pathways, to take the student to meetings, to assign reading from professional materials, to design and guide a project to demonstrate what was learned during the mentorship.  Each mentorship is unique. It should reflect the interests of the student as well as the professional activities of the mentor.  This may include whatever the mentor deems to be appropriate and possible.  The student may be assigned to a team or graduate student working under the mentor.   Students want to apply their talents in a “real world” setting whenever possible.
