This book is a guide for mentors on how to recruit mentor and support students through a
student research experience in science technology engineering mathematics and medicine
(STEMM) fields. Being a successful research mentor benefits from the self-awareness and
planning strategies and skills that Success in Mentoring your Student Researchers can help you
build and develop. These are useful for mentors working with any students but especially those
who have been minoritized in STEMM or are the first in their family to attend college. The
first part of the book introduces mentoring undergraduates and how it differs from traditional
classroom instruction active learning and flipped classrooms mentoring is collaboratively
teaching research while doing research. A mentored undergraduate research experience also helps
your mentees develop the skills necessary to be successful scientists and become part of STEMM
communities. The central partof the book presents the undergraduate research experience as a
three-legged stool whose legs-research education and community-each have unique values in
advancing your mentees' path in STEMM and all of which require setting communicating and
realizing expectations for success--your mentees' and your own. The last part of the book looks
beyond the research experience from evaluating your success as a mentor through helping your
mentees to continue to develop and grow their STEMM careers and become mentors themselves. This
book is the mentor's companion to the authors' book for students Success in Navigating your
Student Research Experience: Moving Forward in STEMM.
