Graduate Student | Arts and Sciences | Psychology | Spatial Navigation Skills in Parkinson's Disease – A Meta-Analysis. | Yes | 2 | Open to all majors | meta-analysis, psychology, parkinson's disease, spatial navigation | My mentoring philosophy revolves around empowering undergraduate students to excel in their project work through a combination of ownership, accountability, shared experience, and interactive learning. I believe in fostering an environment that nurtures their growth and encourages independent thinking. I emphasize giving mentees ownership of their work by involving them in project decisions, from goal setting to execution. This not only bolsters their confidence but also instills a sense of responsibility for their outcomes. I promote accountability by setting clear expectations and milestones, enabling them to track their progress and take pride in their achievements. Drawing from my own experience, I share stories of challenges and successes, illustrating the real-world applications of their efforts. This bridges the gap between theory and practice, enhancing their understanding and motivation. I also encourage open dialogue, where questions and ideas are welcomed, creating an interactive platform for collaborative learning. I understand that each student is unique, with varying skills and aspirations. To accommodate this, I tailor my guidance, offering guidance that aligns with their interests and goals. I provide resources, recommend reading materials, and suggest relevant workshops, fostering holistic development. In conclusion, my approach to mentoring undergraduates centers on nurturing their autonomy, cultivating responsibility, leveraging shared experiences, and fostering an interactive learning ecosystem. By doing so, I aim to not only support their immediate project objectives but also to equip them with lifelong skills for success. |

Mr. | Nicholas Reese | nhr21@fsu.edu | FSU Staff/Campus Partner | N/A | The Center for Health Advocacy and Wellness | How can we offer support?”: Investigating service needs and barriers among a collegiate recovery program through qualitative analysis.” | No | 2 | Open to all majors | Recovery, Substance use, Addiction, Qualitative | Mentoring Philosophy: Mentoring is not just a role. It is a dynamic partnership that empowers individuals to flourish academically, personally, and professionally. My mentoring philosophy centers around the concept of unwavering support. I believe consistent positive support is the cornerstone of nurturing potential and inspiring meaningful progress between a mentor and mentee. My approach aims to create a safe and inclusive space where mentees can explore their research interests, navigate challenges, and cultivate their future trajectories. My approach includes three primary tenets: 1. Building Trust and Rapport: Central to effective mentoring is the establishment of trust and rapport. I prioritize open communication and active listening to understand the unique goals, aspirations, and concerns of each mentee. By creating a nonjudgmental environment, I encourage mentees to share their thoughts and experiences honestly. 2. Tailored Guidance: Every mentee is on a distinct journey, and my role is to offer personalized guidance. I work closely with mentees to identify their strengths, areas of growth, and learning preferences. Together, we co-create a roadmap that aligns with their ambitions, ensuring that the guidance provided is relevant and meaningful. 3. Nurturing Confidence: I view my role as a mentor as that of a steadfast cheerleader. I help mentees recognize their potential and encourage them to step out of their comfort zones. Through constructive feedback and affirmations, I aim to instill confidence in their abilities and empower them to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. |

Faculty | Social Sciences and Public Policy | Emergency Management and Homeland Security | Development of a Remote Sensing and Unmanned Aircraft Systems Handbook for Disaster Response | No | 2 | Open to all majors. | disaster, remote sensing, uas, writing | My mentoring philosophy revolves around the need for students, professionals, and citizens to understand "why things work". In emergency management, we have to understand people and communities to be able to understand why the processes work (or don't). People are successful not because of knowledge or skills gained - but because they understand the why of it and how to apply those skills. I work to understand my students, including their objectives and goals as well as their motivations. To accomplish this, I strive to create and maintain clear communication with students, enabling them to set achievable goals, create work plans to progress toward those goals, and provide clear and consistent feedback on that progress. I strive to be open-minded and inclusive, learn from my peers and students, and accept differing opinions. By the end of their training experience, students are better prepared to perform a variety of hard and soft skills and positioned to perform in academia and professional careers. |

I know that few undergraduate students who choose to collaborate with me on my project (on the resonance of Dante’s works in contemporary culture) will go on to become scholars of medieval Italian literature, so I encourage students from the earliest stages to chart their own path within the landscape of the work that we do. The data that we collect in our archive vary greatly across different genres, media formats, content areas, and geographical provenances. I work closely with my UROP students to locate materials that most stimulate their curiosity, and then I encourage them to gravitate further toward those items for their independent research and creative projects. In doing so, I actively foster each student’s sense of ownership over the questions they ask and the ideas they produce. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ||||

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. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |

In the mentoring process, I see myself as a responsive and responsible facilitator.

I believe my students are as equal as me and everyone wants to learn. I seek to foster in them their interests in learning, effective communication skills, and increased self-efficacy. I think learning is meaning-making; it is individuals’ knowledge accumulation, skill improvement, and behavior modification that students can achieve through the joint efforts between them and their mentors.
