The project is most relevant to students who have an interest in linguistics or related fields. Linguistics, Spanish, bilingualism, language contact, indigenous language I approach mentoring as a collaboration, whereby the students and the mentor mutually and actively engage. My goals for mentoring include identifying the students’ prior knowledge, motivation and goals, developing a productive collaboration, creating a positive learning environment, and giving students opportunities to grow. These goals are reflected in my mentoring activities in a variety of ways.
At the start of the project, I share my goals and expectations, and I outline the students’ responsibilities and what they can expect from me. I identify students’ prior knowledge and skills and build on them. When needed, I adapt the students' responsibilities or instructions. To ensure that we are on the same page, I also ask the students about their motivation, goals, and expectations,.
I aim to create a productive collaboration by giving detailed instructions and regularly checking the students’ understanding and work. I also promote collaboration between students on the project, so they will not only learn from me but also from each other.
I believe a positive learning environment and open communication are essential for an active engagement. Students are encouraged to ask questions, and will know that it is okay to make mistakes and learn from them.
During the project, I provide opportunities for students to grow and to become more independent. The project may provide some initial challenges as students may not be familiar with the software and the type of analysis used, but they will learn to address these challenges, come up with solutions, and gain confidence.

Zoom recording of the roundtable on September 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnAqbCuxcN4		 Graduate Student Education Educational Psychology & Learning Systems Video Games for K-12 STEM Education No 2 Open to all majors Game-Based Learning, K-12, STEM Education As a Ph.D. student, I firmly believe in mentorship as a partnership where we learn from one another. It is my aim to create a supportive environment where everyone feels heard, respected, and included. In this research team, consisting of myself and two UROP research assistants, I consider each assistant to be a valuable team member and friend, rather than just a helper. I recognize the significance of their unique perspectives, experiences, and knowledge in contributing to the success of our project.

Furthermore, I understand that mentorship extends beyond research; it encompasses personal and professional growth. I understand that undergraduate students, particularly those in their early academic years, may be uncertain about their passions and future goals. In this regard, I am committed to engaging in open discussions with my mentees, exploring different possibilities, and providing them with any available professional development resources. I am excited to work with UROP students on this fun and meaningful research project, where we can all learn and thrive.

 Graduate Student Health and Human Sciences Human Development and Family Science PARADIGMS OF PARENTING: INTENSIVE PARENTING ACROSS IDENTITIES EXPLORED THROUGH MIXED METHODOLOGY No 2 Open to all majors parenting, families, mixed-methods, racial identity As a mentor, I aim to foster collaborative relationships, where mentees bring unique perspectives and I contribute knowledge from my area of research and clinical work. Approaching mentorship through this lens leads to invaluable experiences for both mentees and me. My mentoring philosophy also includes flexibility, as mentees have differing goals, levels of experience, and backgrounds. To begin this relationship, I find it important to disclose my identity and discuss how my social position impacts how I approach research, therapy, and mentorship. I do not require my mentees to share their own identities but give them the opportunity to engage in this process as well for us to have a shared understanding of each other’s backgrounds. The next step of our collaboration is a discussion of goals and expectations. It is vital for me to match their needs to ensure their success while also clearly identifying our responsibilities to reach mutual goals. Throughout our journey together, I will continue to check in with them about what is and is not working to make any necessary adjustments. I also give them plenty of opportunities to ask questions for them to take an active role in their learning. Because it is a collaborative relationship, I expect both of us to show up to every meeting prepared with questions and the next steps. I credit much of my success in academia to the incredible mentors I have had and hope to provide beneficial experiences to my mentees. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Meeting ID: 927 8553 3986		 Graduate Student Arts and Sciences Modern Languages The processing of Passive Sentences by L2 Learners of Italian and Spanish: an exploratory study Yes 2 Linguistics
Spanish
Italian
Statistics
Psychology		 SLA Syntax Passives Italian Spanish The involvement of mentees in this project is aimed at having them explore the world of Linguistics research, from literature review and experiment design, to data collection and lab report write-ups. Since so many factors play a role in the successful outcome of research, my concern lies with having mentees learn new skills that may be serviceable outside of my field, and acquire a degree of ease with running experiments and interpreting data; at the same time, it is important to understand that no methodology is perfect, that errors may require a day's work to be thrown out, that being overwhelmed is business as usual, and that it is ok to take a step back and reconvene before deciding where the next step lies. Much the same way as what I do in my classes, I will strive to create a safe and engaging work environment for my mentees, one where collaboration is key to a solid outcome (be it the expected one, or not), and where every contribution counts and is recognized as a win for the person and the group.

I meet students at least bi-weekly following laboratory meetings and for students with more involved training plans more often. The training is driven by the student’s interests and begins to be developed during the interview where I learn about the student’s interests and career goals and think about a good match to specific projects in my laboratory. The interview is also used to identifying students that maintain and build on the diversity in our group. Diversity leads to better ideas and solutions to problems we encounter and improves the training experience and knowledge base for everyone in my group. Yes Yes Yes Yes

The mentorship journey commences with the identification and clarification of mentees' goals, which, combined with the evaluation of their unique talents and understanding, lays the groundwork for personalized growth plans. I prioritize establishing a relationship rooted in mutual respect, which fosters a nurturing environment conducive to open dialogue and mutual learning. An integral part of my approach is to cultivate ownership and accountability in mentees, imparting a sense of responsibility that fuels their commitment to their learning journey. Simultaneously, I share my experiences, providing both insights and tangible examples of real-world successes and failures. I strive to create an interactive learning environment that fosters curiosity and promotes learning through inquiry. By identifying what motivates each mentee, I can tailor my approach to keep them engaged and inspired. The balance of belief with action and experience is vital - it's not enough to believe in potential; it must be met with hard work and resilience. To this end, I create a safe environment where failure is embraced as a learning opportunity, and growth through challenges is encouraged. The cornerstone of this philosophy is to empower mentees to become proactive, resilient learners who can navigate the twists and turns of their personal and professional paths. Yes Yes Yes Yes

I view the mentee as someone whose aim is to increase their understanding of the world and to prioritize learning over finishing. Further, I accept that experience is one of the best and most lasting conduits for learning. In the mentor/mentee exchange, I commit to providing clear and straightforward expectations, to being available for any and all questions or concerns, and to creating work and environment productive to learning. I expect mentees to approach projects with open minds and inquisitive natures; it is never inappropriate to ask for clarification or repetition of expectations. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Mentoring provides an opportunity to co-create trusting, respectful, relationships that foster growth, development of self-determination skills, and improve the quality of research. I think it is critical to work with mentees to support them in developing skills that they value. Self-discipline and attention to detail are important when setting and meeting timelines and priorities, so working collaboratively to establish timelines and expectations, and learning why bringing your whole self to your work makes for a richer more complex experience. As a mentor, I value diversity, communication, willingness to fail forward, and an understanding of the immense responsibility and rewards that come with being entrusted to work with participants for the purpose of research. Mentees should have the opportunity to explore areas of interest, build knowledge about research, and develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Mentoring can provide a facilitated exploration into areas of research that mentees have had little to no experience with previously and an introduction to research topics that they may not have the opportunity to discover independently. Ultimately, co-creating knowledge is the goal of both research and mentoring, and collaboration makes our research and us all better. Yes Yes Yes Yes

I see my students as the expert in their given project, and I expect students to go learn skills, find possible solutions, try many things that may or may not work, and ultimately to come to research meetings ready to teach me all the cool things they’ve learned, tried, and developed. I aim to creating a safe environment in which mentees feel that is acceptable to fail and learn from their mistakes. I do expect mentees to take ownership of their work and have accountability for their effort in the project. Overall, I want to do fun engineering work that makes a difference in human lives, and I want my students to feel empowered to do difficult things and solve challenging problems. Yes Yes Yes Yes

I believe that everyone adds their own unique contributions to research and the understanding of social phenomena, and that the most important findings are produced by diverse ideas and thoughts that account for various cultural, economic, and social contexts. I also believe that mentoring accounts for personal growth alongside research, discussions on future aspirations, and learning and working styles. Yes Yes Yes Yes
