Mentorship “consists of a reciprocal, dynamic relationship between mentor (or mentoring team) and mentee that promotes the satisfaction and development of both” (Richard McGee, 2016).

NCSSM is seeking mentors:

• to engage NCSSM students as thinkers, makers, doers in an ongoing or independent research project with student deliverables of written proposal and oral and/or poster presentation to the NCSSM community

• to offer an experience that requires the application of knowledge and skills to address challenges in the world beyond the classroom

• from the Triangle for in person opportunities 

• in any field of interest from STEM to humanities in a wide range of work environments (including universities, companies, nonprofits)

Mentor requirements for participating:

• Complete mentor compliance process (instructions emailed starting in April)

  • • Includes: 1) Annual Background Check  2) Protection of Minors Training  

• Ensure a clear timeline and research project in place for active student participation 

To be successful in the Mentorship Program and the course assignments, students will need an active role in a research project
