Forthis program, mentors are asked to meet with their mentee at least once a week for one hour. Thiswas deliberately left open ended so that mentor/mentee pairs could decide what activities anddiscussions would be the most productive for them. We encouraged them to pair up with othermentors/mentee pairs for activities and spent time in the initial mentorship training brainstormingpotential activities with mentors.

Students collect information from the literature and develop a plan for solving the problem  Step 3. The student group prepares a pre-lab report for approval prior to initiating lab activity  Step 4. The student group performs the experiment  Step 5.
