PRO TIP:
When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.
Questions to ask yourself:
- Would the student find this person inspiring?
- Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?
EDUCATION
Watch Camille R. break down a subject they’re passionate about.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. It’s important to get a sense of how someone’s personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT (SO FAR)
My greatest achievement would have to be my undergraduate thesis titled "From Wall-E to Walled In: An Exploration of the Accumulating Effects of Privatization on Space Debris in the Post-Soviet Era", which explored how private companies have both revolutionized the causes & solutions to the growing amount of trash in Earth's orbit!
