Depending on the nature of your research or the students’ project, your mentoring style and needs may vary. Here are some resources and information to help with mentoring.
Promotion and Tenure
Faculty who supervise undergraduate researchers may get credit for this work in tenure, promotion, merit-based salary decisions, and in teaching assignments. Experience with mentoring undergraduate researchers should be listed on your CV. It is best to consult with your Chair or Director and the Promotion and Tenure Committee in your unit about expectations for faculty at your career stage.
