You are an important part of the Student Research Symposium as you guide and mentor our students in presenting their research. Students will look up to your experience and expertise for guidance in their journey of creating their own content and abstracts for this professional event. 

Responsibilities

During your time as a mentor you will be asked to:

• Work with the student to create effective, clear, and concise poster content and abstract
• Review the student’s work for clarity, grammar, and concise language before submission
• Attend preparation workshops
• Work with the student to expedite changes if the poster/abstract is returned with edits or suggestions
• Attend the annual Symposium and support your mentee

Support Resources For Students

Students have the opportunity to find funding for research with support from their college, school, department, internal, and external funding.
