STEM + Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research Symposium 2023: Faculty & Acknowledgments

Faculty Mentors Make the Difference

Each year, faculty mentors from across Miami Dade College and our partner institutions and sites: Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, Nova Southeastern University, St. Thomas University, the University of Florida, the University of Miami, and Applied Biotech, Inc., take time from their own teaching and research commitments in to serve as mentors to our students.

The members of the School of Science, the Humanities Edge and Engine of Progress grants, and the Excellence Across the Curriculum Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the tireless hours that you spent teaching, training, motivating, mentoring and inspiring our students throughout their research experience. Since the program’s inception, more than 1,000 students have carried out authentic undergraduate research with the support and guidance of our faculty mentors. These experiences have allowed our students to expand their skills and refine their interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and humanities. Many of them have already continued on to advanced degree programs and the professional workforce.

Thank you, mentors, for your time, your energy and your dedication to our students and our school.  Your efforts have made a lifelong impact on them, and we are all grateful.
