Mentor Matching Program: Bridging the Gap
The Matching Program occurs annually in the fall to connect UF principal investigators with students interested in gaining lab experience through volunteer time or course credits. Students are matched based on interests before resumes are provided to the prospective mentors. Following the resumes, interviews with the principal investigators take place. 10 hours a week availability is recommended.
