STEM Undergraduate Research Symposium 2021: Faculty Mentors

Presented by the School of Science at Miami Dade College, North Campus.

Faculty Mentors Make the Difference

Faculty Mentors share experiences, expertise, and advice on research with students in our MDC STEM Undergraduate Research Program. They serve as guides on behalf of their institution and culture, develop a trusting relationship with our students, and are willing to impart their knowledge selflessly. We are sincerely grateful to for their scholarship and commitment to our students.
