Mentoring Students in Connecting Experiences

In order to complete the BDP, every student must participate in at least one Connecting Experience—an undergraduate research or internship experience for credit, completed under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The faculty mentor is a very important part of the Connecting Experience, and the resources on this site are intended to provide you with information about the context within which students are completing the experience, our expectations of students participating in Connecting Experiences and of faculty who agree to mentor them, guidelines for defining and grading Connecting Experiences, and where to go for further resources or questions.
