Start Mentoring- Four Opportunities Happening Now!
Who: We are looking for six mentors to participate at least every other week through February or March. Expertise in biology, chemistry, or geology specifically is not required to be a helpful mentor!
When/Where: Wednesdays 3-5 pm at Lebanon HS starting Nov 6th.
How it works:
-
Our mentors carpool to Lebanon every week- when you sign up we'll add you to our email list to coordinate rides with us.
-
First time mentors will complete working with minors training on site (approx. five minutes).
-
Have fun! We find the best way to mentor is to walk around, talk to students, hear about their projects, and then jump in where and when you can! Don't worry- at least one seasoned mentor will always attend to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Questions/Concerns? Contact Rebecca Valls at rebecca.a.valls.gr@dartmouth.edu
Who: All mentors are encouraged to participate, but this program is geared towards UG mentors with busy schedules that make in-person mentoring difficult.
How it works:
-
Once you add your name and information to the signup list, we will match you with one of our mentees and email you your mentee's name.
-
We'll ask you to write the first letter introducing yourself, what you do in science, and other activities you enjoy.
-
We will have a drop off spot for completed letters picked out soon. We will cover the cost of postage and envelopes.
-
Have fun! Check your Hinman Box for a reply and keep the dialogue going.
Questions/Concerns? Contact Hannah Margolis at hannah.k.margolis.20@dartmouth.edu

Who: All mentors are encouraged to attend as frequently or infrequently as desired!
When/Where: Location and time varies. See this link for a the scheduled list.
How it works:
-
A day before the Skype call, the presenting researcher has already shared a media clip with mentees to provide a launching point for discussion.
-
You and other interested mentors will meet with the Dartmouth professor or researcher leading the discussion to Skype into the Mascoma classroom.
-
During the discussion, feel free to ask your own questions or ask mentees questions directly.
All you need to do to participate is show up and be engaged! Enjoy the conversation!
