The Conscia Resarch Staff Mentoring program pairs staff with a research work-function with a more experienced academic research mentor to develop their research career, meet research goals, and strategize for future academic success.
Through Conscia mentees will form a university-wide and multi-disciplinary community of practice with their colleagues. This community of practice will serve as a source of support and information during the program and beyond.

Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in their life. I don’t care what you do for a living—if you do it well I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor.” — Denzel Washington
