Mentoring Resources

Through years of work with many faculty mentors and undergraduate student interns, the IRIS Undergraduate Internship Program has developed a short guide to help mentors in the program prepare for the arrival of their students. This guide takes a broad look at the mentor/mentee relationship and encourage metors to take six actions to ensure that they and their undergraduate intern have a educational and productive summer together. The actions are listed below but explained fully in the guide.

  1. Prepare
  2. Make them feel welcome
  3. Develop a plan for regular check-ins
  4. Don’t assume prior knowledge of anything
  5. Be the boss when you have to
  6. Be a MENTOR!

Read the full guide here: "6 Steps that you can take to ensure that you and and your intern, have a great productive summer!"
