Seeking Undergraduate Mentors for 2015-2016
The Undergraduate Mentor program is for motivated Dietrich School undergraduates to share their research and scholarly endeavors with a diverse group of students. Undergraduate Mentors act as Undergraduate Teaching Assistants for the spring First Experience in Research courses, participate in classroom and student organization visits, and lead panel discussions to promote research opportunities. This program is available to all Dietrich School undergraduates regardless of major. Some prior research experience is required. Undergraduate Mentors are compensated as student employees.
