Mentoring Resources

The Undergraduate Research Program staff are available to assist you with information on how to plan for and successfully work with undergraduate researchers. URP staff can also provide consultation regarding requests for support of undergraduate research as a supplement to faculty research grants or for discipline-based undergraduate research programs.

In addition, in response to faculty, postdoctoral researcher, and graduate student mentor requests, we have developed several resources that you may find helpful:
