#MentoringMatters
Lastly, we would like to share a research paper that deeply resonates with our core values of providing mentorship opportunities to promote inclusivity and diversity in research.
“Looking at Myself in the Future”: how mentoring shapes scientific identity for STEM students from underrepresented groups is a programme evaluation research paper by UNC-CH researchers. This is an effort to understand the relationship between mentoring and scientific identity in a diverse pool of participants of a university-level research mentorship programme. Their results highlight the importance of research mentorship in fostering scientific identity, where mentors play and important role in mentees’ identity verification processes and therefore may serve to reinforce students’ own scientific identities. While this paper only focused on a STEM pool of participants to understand the development of scientific identity, mentorship has found to be useful in multidisciplinary and non-STEM settings too.
What this means for us, and for you
We at CABLE are all firm believers that the research mentorship opportunities we are providing will be able to touch many lives and help shape students’ pathway by allowing someone else to be the light for them. If you too believe in our mission to do so, please consider joining the CABLE team to ensure we make an impact for as many students as possible.
