Introduction to Research Mentorship (For Graduate Students)

The first few meetings with a research mentee are an important time to share expectations and align goals. In this session, for graduate students who are or will mentor other researchers, we will consider parallels to other forms of instruction, and develop structures that help set the terms of a successful research mentorship. By the end of the session, you will come away with a specific approach for having these necessary conversations with your research mentee, through the structure of a mentor-mentee contract. This approach will be develop during the session through discussions with participants on how to handle difficult situations and how these cases inform on which expectations are important for us, as research mentors, to align with our mentee.
