MENTEES 2017-2018

Meet the 2017-2018 Mentees 

Fifteen undergraduate student mentees from historically underrepresented ethnic/racial backgrounds were recruited into the program in the spring and summer of 2017. Student mentees were recruited from Iowa State University, Tuskegee University, Georgia Southern University, Agnes Scott College, and Florida International University. Students are sophomores, juniors and seniors enrolled in STEM majors. The candidates are meritorious students with a GPA of at least 3.0 or higher. Students applied competitively to enter the program. The best candidates were selected and matched to a mentor who is an established toxicologist in academia or industry. 
​

Benefits to mentees:
  • Knowledge and skills gained through this year-long program will position mentees to compete effectively for graduate school training positions
  • Mentees will gain a supportive network of mentors and fellow mentees
  • Knowledge gained through this program will apply to the broader biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research enterprise, all relevant to NIH
