Faculty Mentors play a key role in providing opportunities for students to work on pieces of their own research agenda, or guiding students in independent projects. SOURCE supports faculty mentors by:
- Coaching students on best practices for seeking and working with a faculty mentor
- Assisting faculty to find student research assistants, if desired
- Providing research stipend support for mentors of SOURCE grant recipients
- Facilitating transparent student/mentor relationships with a student/mentor contract
- Troubleshooting and mediating if issues arise
- Recognizing and promoting the invaluable role of faculty mentors in making undergraduate research and creative activity possible
