Preparing Faculty to Mentor Students for Success in Undergraduate Research
Tolman, Anton O.; Johnson, Benjamin A.
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v33 n4 p77-90 2022
Undergraduate research is a high-impact practice (HIP), but it can be difficult to implement well. Faculty generally lack training for effectively mentoring students. A semi-autonomous faculty organization at Utah Valley University has maintained a faculty development program, the Mentoring Undergraduate Research Academy (MURA), and other activities to support undergraduate research and creative work for seven years. This article describes this organization, the Scholarly and Creative Undergraduate Learning Partnership Team (SCULPT), and the Mentoring Undergraduate Research Academy program. It explains key lessons and challenges that may be useful for other institutions seeking to enhance student mentoring on their campuses.
