This is a REd Synchronous (live) class.

Mentors play an essential role in aiding mentees in obtaining information and materials, and in accessing the collegial and professional networks, etc. necessary to achieve professional goals. Professional skills are important for mentees to accumulate, as they are relevant whether the mentee decides to become a career researcher or pursue another profession. This class covers the role that mentors should play in helping mentees achieve their goals. During the live class meeting, we will use case studies to explore issues in the mentor role in mentees’ career development.

Class Objectives: 

• Identify skills and topics relevant for undergraduate researchers’ professional development
• Select tasks and goals that showcase a mentee’s professional skills and assess current skills level
• Identify considerations and implications of professional development for mentees of all backgrounds
