N/A As a mentor, I approach every student with deep respect for their perspectives and backgrounds. Diversity enriches our learning experience, and I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every student's voice is valued. This perspective enhances the learning journey and promotes mutual understanding and growth.

My core strengths as a mentor are identifying each student's strengths and weaknesses. I recognize that every student possesses a distinct set of talents and challenges. By tailoring my approach to meet each student's specific needs, I effectively guide them toward their goals. Through open communication and active listening, I gain insights into their aspirations and areas of improvement.

Scaffolding is a crucial tool in my mentoring approach. I firmly believe in meeting students where they are in their journey and providing them with the necessary support and resources to bridge the gap between their current state and their desired destination. This involves breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, offering constructive feedback, and gradually empowering students to take ownership of their learning process. I provide a safe space where mentees can ask questions, make mistakes, and learn from them.

By integrating my respect for individual perspectives, my ability to work with students from diverse backgrounds, and my proficiency in identifying strengths and weaknesses, I create an informative and transformative mentoring experience, helping my mentees realize their potential. I strive to be a mentor who empowers students to confidently progress from where they are to where they want and need to be.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes

- Biology
- Biochemistry 		Exercise, Metabolism, Adipose Tissue, Insulin Resistance I have always found the key element for success is the mentor’s ability to spark students’ curiosity to learn and connect with sources of information and knowledge that help them explore new ideas. Indeed, students should be at the center of the learning experience. The strategies, methods, and approaches to achieve that might -and should- change and evolve, but the focus should always be on the students. In addition, accommodation for college students and their schedules provides better access to learning opportunities and creates effective mentor-mentee communication. To this end, I always seek to improve my mentoring style based on self-evaluation, student evaluation, and peer evaluation. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Providing challenges in a supportive environment can help boost confidence as well as teach students what they are really capable of. I want students to feel welcome and comfortable, without the work becoming too mundane or stagnant. As a result, I aim to continuously provide new challenges and opportunities to learn, but at a smooth and steady pace to prevent the work from becoming too daunting or stressful. This, I feel, is the best environment for personal growth. Entering academia in the hard sciences, in my experience, can be extremally intimidating as there are so many incredibly knowledgeable and skilled people. My goal is to clear the path between undergraduate and graduate study and give mentees the skills to make the transition smoothly and with confidence. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Secondary Majors: Graphic Design, Open to all majors, but overall must have a love for literature, especially children's literature for multicultural populations.		 Literacy, Libraries, Access, Equity, Library, My mentoring philosophy recognizes the unique value of mentorship for undergraduate students from all walks of life, with a particular emphasis on those from underrepresented populations, marginalized communities, and individuals who may face discrimination based on gender, sex, race, or ability. This philosophy acknowledges the indispensable nature of mentorship in nurturing, inspiring, and empowering students in their academic journey, providing them with a sense of belonging and direction.

Understanding the diverse challenges that students may encounter during their undergraduate years, this approach to mentorship is dedicated to providing personalized guidance, encouragement, and shared experiences that resonate with their individual paths.

This philosophy champions mentorship relationships that are adaptable, structured, and responsive, constantly evolving to meet the unique needs and aspirations of each student. These relationships aim to foster confidence, stimulate intellectual curiosity, encourage risk-taking, and facilitate personal and academic growth.

The ultimate goal of this mentoring philosophy is to create an environment of inclusivity, collaboration, and opportunity within the academic community. By recognizing and addressing the specific needs and experiences of undergraduate students, particularly those from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds, this approach seeks to cultivate a nurturing educational landscape.

Whether guiding students through research projects, academic challenges, or personal development, this philosophy encourages breaking patterns of exclusivity and fostering a sense of empowerment. It is a mission to bridge gaps, build connections, and create a future where every undergraduate student has the chance to thrive, contribute, and make a meaningful impact, regardless of their background or circumstance.

https://fsu.zoom.us/j/95886251884		 Graduate Student Social Sciences and Public Policy Sociology Discourse and Identity-Making No 2 Open to all majors Discourse, Identity, Race, Gender, Interview, Qualitative Throughout the years, I strengthened in my qualitative research skills under the supervision of my mentor, Doug Schrock, and other faculty members at FSU, UT Austin, Georgia Southwestern, and Valdosta State. In that time I have been privileged enough to gain ethnographic and interview skills crucial for conducting qualitative and sociological analyses. Such skills are transferrable to qualitative research in both the private and public sectors. Today's world is increasingly focused on social justice and combatting inequality. While quantitative research is important, there are prudent research questions that can only be answered by observing people and listening to what they have to say. My goal is to train the vanguard of qualitative researchers who will promote social justice by studying what people do and say. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Collaboration, Co-curation, Participation My mentoring philosophy is rooted in fostering personal and professional growth through collaborative and empowering relationships. I believe each individual possesses unique talents and aspirations, which I strive to nurture.
Goals and Talents: I focus on understanding mentees' goals and evaluating their strengths. This enables me to provide tailored guidance that aligns with their aspirations and builds on their existing capabilities.
Respect and Ownership: I cultivate relationships founded on mutual respect, encouraging open dialogue. I guide mentees to take ownership of their learning journey, promoting accountability and self-directed growth.
Guided Exploration: Rather than providing all answers, I encourage mentees to explore and discover solutions. This cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, fostering independence and confidence.
Shared Experience: I share my experiences to offer practical insights and context. This helps mentees navigate challenges and decisions, making informed choices as they progress.
Interactive Learning: I create an interactive space for discussions and questions, stimulating curiosity and deeper understanding of subjects.
Motivation and Safe Environment: Understanding each mentee's motivation, I tailor guidance to keep them engaged. I create a safe space where failures are embraced as learning opportunities, encouraging resilience.
Challenges and Inquiry: I introduce challenges to spur growth and inspire mentees to inquire, think critically, and seek diverse perspectives.
In total, my mentoring philosophy revolves around empowering mentees to steer their own growth journey. Through respect, shared experiences, and guided exploration, I aim to instill confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong commitment to learning and development.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes

Pragmatist philosophy places a high value on the act of doing as a means of acquiring knowledge, and Chinese Wu-wei involves accepting or acting naturally without external forces or direct interference. Although Wu-wei is literally translated as inactivity or nonaction, it refers to a type of action that appears like nonaction. In this innovative philosophical framework, mentees can have the freedom to choose between acting by the mentor's direction and their own, this choice cannot be reduced to a simple either/or dilemma. Through this open-minded approach, mentees' learning process can be based on their own free will — self-directive. Ultimately, mentees will develop their own way of knowing with resultant positive consequences. This then invites new opportunities for betterment and improvement. Yes Yes Yes Yes

I believe in the power of active listening and understanding and strive to foster a growth mindset. I encourage my mentees to view challenges as opportunities for learning and personal growth. Together, we will explore ways to overcome obstacles, develop resilience and embrace a lifelong learning mindset. I strive to foster and encourage creativity and innovation through problem solving and hands on learning experiences. Lastly, I strongly believe in the power of positivity and kindness I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where mentees feel comfortable expressing themselves and making mistakes. Overall, my mentoring philosophy is centered around empowering others, fostering growth and creativity, and creating a positive and supportive environment for personal and professional development.

I think this project has all these elements.

Over time, I've found that mentoring is a calibration exercise, and different strategies work with different projects/students. For this project, I am looking for a student who can take charge. They will be able to watch a Youtube video, adapt and implement it for the project, and discuss options/impediments with the mentor as they arise.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes

The cornerstone of a successful mentor-mentee relationship is to develop a strategy that aligns the research interests, career goals, and innovative ideas of each mentee with my goals as a researcher. Each mentee is different and some may come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Therefore, aligning expectations must be done on an individual basis to account for these factors. I prefer to be hands off and allow each student to make mistakes, but also to learn from mistakes.

As a UROP mentor, I provide guidance on all aspects of the research project but I am also open to students' constructive ideas and suggestions. I meet my students regularly to make sure that the goals of the project are going met, but also to ask how their classes are going, and to remind them to take care of themselves and have a good work/life balance. I strive to be frank but compassionate, providing constructive criticism if needed and also frequent encouragement.
I value mutual respect and accountability. I don't expect perfection: mistakes are part of the learning process. I have participated in UROP many times, and on several occasions I have remained in touch with UROP students well after the year is over. UROP can result in continued mentoring during your undergraduate studies and beyond; sometimes it leads to long-term research collaboration in academic presentations and publications as well.

 Post Doc N/A Florida Center for Prevention Research Cynthia Wilson Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education No 2 Psychology, Social work, Education, Sociology, Human Development and Family Sciences, Health and Human Science marriage, couple, relationship, family, education I have developed a set of principles to successfully mentor undergraduate students as follows:
1. Time is necessary for mutual understanding. My willingness to spend time with my mentee affirms my respect and the values of their effort. Also, making progress requires effective use of limited periods of time. I facilitate this by setting a work schedule, deadlines, and regular meetings to assess progress during the UROP Research Mentor Project.
2. Communication is a key to success in both ways. The same conversation can have startlingly different meaning to a student and a mentor because of differences in their backgrounds and how they think through problems. Listening to a student, their ideas, and their responses to my statements and asking questions are critical to establishing mutual understanding and I am open to interactive communication.
3. Organization skill is important to efficiently complete a project. Projects have many elements and include the compilation of data and analyses over a long period of time, so I will provide the organizational chart and spreadsheet to track our work together.
4. The success of their research results from their effort and insight, an ownership that I explicitly acknowledge. No independent work occurs without such personal responsibility. Early in the process I will likely provide more direction, later in the process as independence grows my role is to help retain focus and deliver results.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes
