program is federally funded by a grant from the <a href="https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/trio/index.html">
U.S. Department of Education</a>. TRIO Scholars focuses on improving retention and graduation rates of first-generation, income-qualified students and students with disabilities. TRIO Scholar participants gain academic, social, personal and career support from
entry into the program until graduation. The program strives to provide the contacts and networking opportunities necessary for success beyond graduation as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

leaders at UCR. Graduate Mentors will develop a one-on-mentoring relationship with a TRIO Scholar and share knowledge and experiences. Graduate mentors should make an effort to anticipate the needs of their mentees, but also remain open to engaging in conversations
about topics the mentees feel are important to them at the time. Ideally, mentors serve as both personal and professional support for their mentees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We expect this experience to be as valuable for the graduate mentors as it is for the mentees. As a mentor, this is an opportunity to give back to the UCR Community,
to support the next generation of educators, in addition to gain leadership, coaching, and mentorship experience that will deepen the graduate school experience while also furthering your career path.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
