If you are interested in continuing past the first year of the program on a mentor pathway, your mentor should be obtained by the end of the school year. The earlier you find your mentor, the more likely you are to be exposed to opportunity in the research community. While there is such a thing as "too early," beginning your mentor search on time is one of the most important parts of your research journey.

Before you can begin your search, you must show Mr. Foro evidence that you are familiar with the tasks outlined below. (There are several classwork assignments that expose you to this information.)

Email Etiquette
Email Etiquette
All emails should include a subject line, a greeting (Dear Dr. ______), a well-thought out body, a closing, your full name, and an appropriate signature. (The "Mentorship Requirements" classwork has you develop templates to make this easier.)
All emails should be written with correct punctuation, grammar, and spelling. Always have a JAM or SAM read your email before you send it. If you struggle with spelling, think about add-ons like Grammarly.
Check your email regularly (at least once a day) and respond within 48 hours. If you need more time to complete the actions in the email, write an email to thank the person for their response and promise to follow up when you have completed the actions.
Mentorship Requirements
Mentorship Requirements
A mentor should have a Ph.D., M.D., or other graduate degree. Depending on your topic, sometimes a mentor's significant experience in their field can substitute for this requirement.
Your mentor will help you with vetting your project design, directing you towards resources for data analysis, helping you with your conclusions, and giving feedback on your paper and presentations.
Communication between mentee and mentor is of vital importance. Depending on your situation, you may not communicate with your mentor as often as others do. Developing a plan for communication at the start of your mentorship is the key to success.
