Mentoring Philosophy
The mentor/mentee relationship is one that is built on trust and respect. It is important that goals are developed that are mutually beneficial. Students should expect an environment built for learning and appropriate communication about tasks, deadlines, and adequate guidance on how to perform tasks. The mentor is open to innovative ideas, questions, and encourages growth through exposure to research.Additional Information
