Student Support
I value supporting students holistically--through academics, goal planning, and being a safe space for them during the ebbs and flows of their college careers. See below for a few ways I implement mentorship into my work as a graduate student.
For current UC Davis undergraduate students in Environmental Science and Management (ESM) or Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning (EPAP)
Personalized Mentorship: Get matched with a mentor aligned with their interests/background and meet monthly.
Faculty Connection: Opportunities to attend weekly office hours with Dr. Gwen Arnold to discuss their plans and secure a faculty reference.
Career Insight Roundtables: Join two evening Zoom roundtables per quarter where multiple mentors share paths and lessons and answer questions.
Actionable Deliverables: Each quarter includes a short, focused assignment to move their goals forward.
