Utah State faculty who are interested in learning more about mentoring should follow the links below to learn more about our various mentoring programs for you and your students! Learn more and sign up for our mentoring email list to hear about events, deadlines, and opportunities!
The Student Research Symposium, held each April, is the showcase event for about 400 undergraduate and graduate students. We ask faculty to evaluate graduate and undergraduate presentations and provide feedback, and we encourage graduate students to review undergraduate work.
The Fall Student Research Symposium is a smaller, undergrad-only presentation event each December. It has been growing, and we ask faculty and especially encourage graduate students to provide feedback to participants (as it is a great preparation for their own presentations at SRS).
If you have a project and are looking for an undergraduate research assistant or volunteer, we can assist you in creating a post on our Current Opportunities list.
If you have the capacity to hire an undergrad, consider posting your job as a Federal Work Study position. You save funds and increase access to research.
Discuss best practices, personal successes, and new ideas with our mentoring community! Our monthly sessions cover topics like cultural competency, aligning expectations, and mentoring philosophy!
To support the University’s commitment to engaging students in its research efforts and ensure the safety and fairness of those experiences, this policy formalizes the authorization to work with, train, and supervise Unpaid Research Interns.
