[Ccb_gsr_listserv] Call for Mentors! SEEDS-CCB Mentorship Program W26

[Brittney Nguyen]

Hi all,

I hope your quarter has been off to a calm start!


We are now recruiting mentors for the Winter 2026 cohort of the SEEDS-CCB
Mentorship Program! Please sign up here
<https://forms.gle/cdAqZqF81wVR8A357> by January 16th if your research is
in the fields of Ecology, Evolution, and/or Conservation Biology, and you
have a desire to foster undergraduate interest in your field. No previous
experience is required, and grad students of all stages are encouraged to
apply!

As a mentor, you will work one-on-one with an undergraduate in a structured
yet flexible format to teach them the basics of your field and research
(see Winter 2026 Program Description
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BtLyBWSjcT62gpeGfFt1u-eXdto_8fANY_tHPuqNbIU/edit?usp=sharing>,
also attached to this email). This is a great opportunity to connect
casually with enthusiastic students that could end up being your vital
research assistants. The mentor workload is extremely low, and mentorship
is a highly sought-after addition to your CV.


If you don't have the capacity to mentor this quarter but would still like
to be involved, please feel free to advertise this slide

(also
attached to this email) to your students while you TA! We'd love this
program to reach as many undergrads as possible.


If you have any questions about the program, feel free to reach out to me (
brittney.nguyen at email.ucr.edu) or Audrey Burr (audrey.burr at email.ucr.edu)!

All the best,

Brittney
