Who is this course for?
Imagine having access to wisdom that could facilitate your academic success, while simultaneously aiding your professional development. Such experiences are more readily accessible than you might think. Seeking out mentorship relationships can be invaluable to your education and career. Mentors can provide a broad and unbiased perspective in a way that most undergraduates would not have access to from other sources (e.g., family, friends). A mentor is someone who has garnered experience in your desired path and can help lead you in the right direction. Mentorship relationships 1) are focused on the growth and accomplishment of an individual, 2) include forms of support (e.g., assistance with career development), and 3) are personal and reciprocal relationships. Mentors can provide you with advice regarding research ideas, graduate school advice, professional guidance, and much more. Engaging in a mentorship relationship can lead to a host of positive outcomes such as academic success, career development, and psychological well-being.
