What are faculty mentors?
Faculty or research mentors assist scholars in selecting and designing an appropriate project that can be completed in two academic semesters and supervise all research-related activities. Your mentor should direct you to the appropriate background literature and provide training and assistance for you to learn required techniques or procedures. In addition, your research mentor will be asked to review and critique a rough draft of the proposal, presentation abstract and final paper. Your research mentor should be available to offer support and advice for graduate school opportunities.
