We will work together not only on preparing studio production but also on dealing with logistics, communication, organizing inventories, packaging, archiving, and social media promotion for exhibitions and events. Many students are often focused on these in their senior year of undergraduate study as professional development. It will be great to expose them early on so they can start thinking about how to find their skill set and interest in the art field to get a job. Besides their research, they can learn to do some administrative aspects of work and they can apply this to their own. I also look forward to building up friendship and mentorship. This will be a great opportunity for me to learn about their work and help them build their studio practice as well. Additionally, I plan to help the assistants have a show at the end of their UROP project. Yes Yes Yes Yes

I have been a student in higher education for nine years now, and have had wonderful mentorship experiences, and some not-so-wonderful experiences! I use these experiences and my desire for an equitable and asset-based research lab to build my mentoring philosophy. My top priority for your mentorship experience is to impact your learning- whether that is learning of content or learning about your academic interests and disinterests. I do this through an approach in which I delegate tasks that interest you and speak to your existing talents and skills. I encourage input and communication from all in the team, regardless of your "expertise" in the subject area, as I believe that everyone has unique contributions to make to the project. I value respect, honesty, inclusion, and flexibility. I support all your interests and commitments, and will hold you up to high expectations to push you towards excellence. I expect transparent and constant communication so that I can be compassionate towards all that life hands you. I also take a stance of mentorship that expands past this research study-- I am here as a resource and support system for all your academic, and even personal, endeavors.

To achieve this, I have several core mentorship principles including 1) Focus on individual growth - as opposed to setting an arbitrary benchmark for mentees to meet my goals is to work with a mentee to understand how they want to grow and what they want to learn and develop mentorship plans and goals from there. 2) The student is the scientist - I believe forming a research question is a crucial skill and I strive to support my mentees in this practice, workshopping their ideas and giving them ownership of their work 3) Open and intentional communication including setting and revisiting expectations for both mentor and mentee.

Basic Creep; 3DCP; Nanoindentation; XRF, SEM In my mentorship approach, I emphasize hands-on learning, particularly given the experimental nature of our work in construction and 3D printing. I structure tasks with the intention for mentees to gain a robust skill set in both domains. My method is demonstrative: I perform each task multiple times, ensuring my mentee understands every step. Then, I observe them as they replicate the process, offering guidance from my own experiences, aiming to enhance their proficiency and encourage modifications where needed. Recognizing that mastery comes from experience, and often from learning through setbacks, I allocate resources to accommodate occasional failures. Challenges are inevitable, but they present invaluable learning opportunities. These instances also foster collaboration; a fresh perspective can be illuminating. I view my mentees not just as learners but as friends, a partnership where we grow and innovate together. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Graduate Student Social Sciences and Public Policy Political science Behavioral economics of political discussion No 2 Open to all majors, but economics, political science, policy, communication, linguistics, or computer science students may be particularly interested behavioral economics, political discussion, language, communication, text analysis I believe in giving mentees opportunities to shape their research experience in the ways that will best serve their academic and professional goals. This means we will explore together what interests and aspirations the mentee has, and what kinds of methods and skills the mentee would like to further develop and add to their repertoire. Tailoring the experience to the mentee's interests, aspirations, and talents makes the research experience more useful and rewarding to the mentee, and simultaneously improves the product of our joint efforts.

Throughout a collaboration, it is also important to me that mentees can see how their slice of the project contributes to the larger team research project and how their contribution expands our overall collective knowledge in the research area. I encourage mentees to ask questions often, raise challenges and concerns, contribute their point of view, and try out their own ideas. By fostering a culture of open dialogue, mutual respect, and brave exploration, both the mentor and mentee can benefit from diverse perspectives and innovative solutions.

As a university professor, I strive to provide mentees with an environment conducive to learning, knowledge that will improve their ability to articulate their individual standpoints, and constructive feedback that will help them instead of discouraging them.

Students learn skills best through an interactive teaching style that demands their participation and challenges them to think. As such, when mentoring an undergraduate student, my style or approach is interactive and respectful. Towards this end, my approach to training the next generation of scholars and advocates involves a great deal of appreciation of their time and efforts. Students are provided clear aims and project tasks. I make every effort to make my assignments are concise and that people don’t feel lost in the assignment. I also provide examples of responses to the assignment, if necessary. Before starting work as a research mentee, I meet with students to learn about their interests as well as their current strengths and challenges. To discover what motivates mentees, I ask them to talk about their goals for the experience and how much time they intend to devote to the collaboration. I also ask mentees about their work and class schedule because I wouldn't want our work to interfere with other responsibilities. Finally, to encourage a free exchange of feedback, I ask my mentees to reach out via phone, email, or remote interface to discuss any concerns or questions that emerge.

Graduate Student Communication and Information Communcation Exploring Sustainable Food Choices Advertising on Social Media: A Content Analysis of the Food Industry's Promotional Practices on Instagram No 1 Open to all majors Sustainable Food, Social Media, Food advertising, Content analysis As a mentor, my philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and nurturing environment that empowers mentees to grow and achieve their goals. I believe in actively listening to mentees, understanding their aspirations, and collaborating to create a roadmap toward their success.
Identifying mentees' goals is crucial to tailoring our mentoring relationship effectively. By understanding their ambitions and interests, I can offer guidance that aligns with their unique path. Through open communication, I aim to build trust and ensure mentees feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns.
Evaluating mentees' understanding is an ongoing process in our journey together. I encourage open dialogue, questions, and discussions to gauge their comprehension and provide targeted support where needed. By identifying knowledge gaps, we can work collaboratively to bridge them and enhance their learning experience.
Recognizing mentees' talents and strengths is essential in nurturing their growth. I believe in acknowledging and building upon their existing skills, as this cultivates confidence and motivation. I will help them leverage these abilities while also encouraging the exploration of new areas, allowing them to reach their full potential.
Creating a safe environment is paramount to the mentoring process. I strive to establish trust, empathy, and non-judgmental support. Mentees should feel comfortable taking risks, knowing that failures are learning opportunities, not roadblocks. Encouraging a growth mindset, I will help them reflect on setbacks, extract valuable lessons, and develop resilience.

I am dedicated to instilling hope in my mentees, reminding them of their innate potential and the boundless opportunities that await them. I aim to provide a nurturing environment where they can flourish both personally and professionally, knowing that they are valued and cared for.

I see our relationship as collaborative, with both of us sharing the goals of making valuable contributions to existing scholarship and advancing the state of the field. I especially encourage the students with whom I work to develop their own scholarly projects, and will encourage them to create a project of publishable quality, eventually finding venues for the presentation and publication of the final work. It is important for me to know the goals and interests of the mentees with whom I work, so that I can understand and appreciate what they wish to achieve with their projects. Ultimately, the mentee and I should see our working relationship as part of the project, one that evolves over time and adapts to new developments, and is something we can eventually be as proud of as the project itself.

After teaching music for thirteen years, I decided it was time to pursue a career in academia. While supervising a music education intern, I discovered my true passion: teaching teachers.
I am excited to work with students who can embrace the three C's of mentorship: Clarity, Communication, and Commitment.
Clarity- I strive to be as clear in my own expectations while working with students on a project and therefore welcome questions, wonderings, and even constructive criticism after building a healthy rapport. Clear expectations leave little room for "guesswork" in something as complex as research.
Communication- I will actively listen to student questions to best provide the support necessary for completion of research tasks and assignments. I will challenge students to express their thoughts clearly and thoroughly both in-person and in academic writing.
Commitment- I will promise to make myself available to student-researchers and encourage them to do the same throughout this experience.
Most importantly, I would like to grow as a mentor and supervisor as much as I would like to see my students learn. The values of clarity, communication, and commitment are reflected in my approach to research. Teaching and learning have and will always be my greatest passions.

I believe a mentor is a temporary role that supports a mentee in their growth and development. It is important for mentees to know where they want to go in order to get the best support from a mentor. Most of my time towards building a mentorship relationship occurs within our weekly check-in time. It is important that you can articulate your needs as a mentee within that time and are able to be at those meetings. Moving forward, I advocate for my mentees, send them resources, and am available to meet when needed. Yes Yes Yes Yes
