Interested in Teaching? Check out the Delta Program!

Emma C took the summer course and has this to share: The Research Mentor Learning Communities Delta class is a great opportunity to learn about the best practices for serving as a mentor with an undergraduate in your current work or prepare for future mentoring in an academia related career. This course is discussion style and pulls graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all over campus. Content covers confrontation resolution, overcoming cultural differences, and helps students define their mentorship style. This is a great way to hear about the mentor/mentee relationship styles of other fields and develop high quality skills for the future. I would 100% encourage any student that is currently serving as a mentor or plans to pursue a career where this would be a key aspect to sign up. This course can be taken for UW credit if you already have a mentor or directly through Delta in an audit style for those that don’t (or don’t need/want the credit).
