Thoughts on mentorship from OFIS Mentors…
“A key to a successful mentorship is having a strong foundational network of other mentors…As a mentor, I would like to provide my mentee with tangible access to research, science communication, advice on studying, and scholarship opportunities.”
— PhD student, Cancer immunology & Glycobiology
“Mentors help elevate less experienced individuals through support and wisdom, while mentees provide a new and exciting outlook on the related field, challenging traditional methodology and beliefs. This exchange of perspective and knowledge serves as a cultivating experience for both the mentor and mentee, emphasizing the importance of the mentor keeping an open mindset when interacting with the mentee.”
— Master’s Student, Biostatistics
“The drive for knowledge is what has always fueled me; however, I acknowledge that if I had…a mentor, I could’ve avoided a lot of precarious predicaments and missed opportunities… I always think about what resources I wish I had when I was in high school and undergraduate studies and communicate that to my students…Mentorship is of utmost importance for students in major transitionary stages as it could impact the outcome of their lives and aspirations.”
