Veterinary Physiology & Pharmacology
Faculty Mentor:
Dr. Luke Lyons, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
4 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Leadership opportunity in establishing a departmental program; presenting research at Student Research Week and national conferences; possible authorship on publications.
Team Needs: I am seeking students interested in program development and educational research. Desired qualities of potential team members include: selfless-service, leadership, writing ability, creativity, and interest in both qualitative and quantitative research methods. I am looking for students who are passionate about helping others and will become invested in prior and future research applicable to this mentorship program. Sophomores and Juniors are preferred (not a hard requirement). Majors in life sciences, social sciences and education are encourage to apply.
Description:
This research and development project seeks to establish a framework for a peer mentorship program focused on undergraduate researchers. All researchers are enrolled in the Biomedical Research Certificate (BRC) program. This mentorship program will be focusing on providing underclassmen (freshmen, sophomores) with the opportunity to seek advice, counseling and navigation from upperclassmen (juniors, seniors). Research involved in this project will include mixed-method analysis of interviews and surveys from participants (i.e., staff, faculty, students) to best guide the researchers development of the mentorship program. The results of the analysis will inform final framework to be installed at the end of the Spring 2020 semester.
