Mentoring:
Each student will work directly with a University of Cincinnati faculty mentor. Each week, all women in the program meet as a group to discuss their projects and to hear from guest speakers about a variety of topics including decisions about graduate work, giving professional talks, reading scientific journals, developing leadership skills, and other skills related to being a professional scientist. A final presentation provides an opportunity for students to participate in a professional research conference.
