GRAD 213 Equity-Minded Mentoring in Higher Education: Fostering Inclusive Research and Learning Environments

Supports enrolling graduate students and auditing postdoctoral scholars in STEM and Social Science programs to develop mentorship skills that create inclusive research and learning environments in higher education. Mentors engage with recent research and practice evidence-based strategies that help historically marginalized students excel in science through an equity-centered approach. To apply insights from educational research, mentors create mentoring statements that articulate their equity values and the specific strategies they use to enact equity in mentoring. Enrollment is by permission of instructor and prioritizes graduate students in STEM or Social Science discipline. Contact the instructor for a permission code. The instructor will review enrollees as needed to ensure priority is being met. Postdoctoral scholars in these fields may audit the course.
