Support for Faculty Mentors

The Office of Undergraduate Research is committed to help foster strong, healthy and productive relationships between mentor/student. Faculty mentors are an imperative part of the planning, development, and implementation of undergraduate research projects.

General Tips for Mentoring Undergraduate Researchers at The University of Toledo:

  • Discuss the overall objectives ad expectations of the student.
  • Inform the student of all compliance and ethical issues regarding their research.
  • Mentor the student's research project throughout the term, which should include regular communication through oral or written feedback on the project in its various stages.
  • Encourage student participation in a broader research community. 
  • Review and approve the students end-of-term assignment prior to admission.
