Mentor's Role

The faculty mentor is key to the success of efforts to engage undergraduate students in adding to the body of knowledge or creative works. The mentor serves as a coach and guide into the practice of original discovery. Mentoring is both a demanding and rewarding experience.

The mentor is the person the student goes to for advice on research design, data collection, studio questions, stage setup, etc., with the student taking both ownership and responsibility for the direction of the research or creative project.
