Mentorship
Knight Scholars Program Mentoring Community
There is no one source of mentorship. It takes a village. We are a scientific community.
Scholars will see what life looks like at different stages of training, in different fields, and what potential paths could look like.
Here are the primary communities where Knight scholars receive mentorship.
Near-Peer Mentors
Undergraduates and graduate students who recently walked the path serve as peer mentors with the program.
Research Mentors
In labs. In communities. In clinical settings. Research mentors show our scholars the diverse settings where cancer research occurs.
Career Mentors
Go beyond the science. What do careers look like in different cancer areas? Professionals and trainees give advice about what paths look like and what it takes to get there.
Together, as a cohort of scholars
Scholars, talk with each other about your own journeys in cancer research.
Share your stories, training experiences, and perspectives.
