Undergraduate Research @ IUPUI

A special workshop for faculty mentors, well worth the time:

If you mentor undergraduate research students you may learn some useful techniques of supervision that will enrich the learning experience of your student and help you encourage them to get the most from their work with you. Help your student researchers get more from their research experience with you whether or not you pay them and learn how to build a better working relationship with your student colleague.

Is this the first time you have ever supervised students? Or do you want some insight into how you might be a better supervisor so that your student will be more productive? Then, You Hold the Keys: Unlock the Mysteries of Supervising Students, workshop is for you. Sign up for this free 3 hour workshop on the IUPUI HRA website: http://www.hra.iupui.edu/signup.asp

We are offering the workshop at 2 different times in University Library, Room 1116:
Tuesday, October 16th from 9-12 and
Thursday, November 8th from 9-12.

Supervising student employees may seem like a big mystery at times – but when you hold the keys, it’s a lot clearer! We will begin the workshop with recruiting, hiring, training and evaluating student staff. Then, we’ll discuss effective communication, what motivates students, ensuring that expectations are clear, and building value into students’ work. But most importantly, bring your own supervision mysteries and together we’ll learn from our mistakes and successes. Join us for a fun, interactive workshop that will help you be a better supervisor of students!

The workshop will be facilitated by Stephanie Braun, Student Employment Coordinator, IUPUI Career Center; Lauren DeWell, Student Employment Consultant, IUPUI Career Center, and me, Judy Carley.

We hope you can join us for one of the workshops and please pass this information on to anyone else that you think might be interested.
