Mentoring Resources

8.2 Repository for Mentoring

Many groups have been involved in the mentoring process. Two such nationally known, respectable mentoring organizations that possess a wealth of mentoring materials that may be used at any stage of the mentoring process are listed below.

Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR)

The mission of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is to support and promote high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship. CUR and its affiliated colleges, universities, and individuals share a focus on providing undergraduate research opportunities for faculty and students at all institutions serving undergraduate students. CUR believes that faculty members enhance their teaching and contribution to society by remaining active in research and by involving undergraduates in research.

The University of New Mexico Mentoring Institute

The Mentoring Institute was established to instill, foster and promote a mentoring culture at the University of New Mexico. The mission is to further the reach and impact that mentoring has on the world on a local, state, national, and international level.

The National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) program changed my college perspective from “paper and pen” work to conducting laboratory research, traveling and presenting at national conferences, and giving back to the society. Without the NSF REU program, my college experience would have never been as delightful as it is now. Moreover, if it were not for this undergraduate research training program, I would not be a good candidate for graduate school. – Francois Mertil, Telecommunications Engineering Technology, City Tech
