Teaching and mentoring
Learning teaching and mentoring skills useful within your research group, the classroom, and other educational settings.
In addition to workshops and online courses, we host an annual competition to provide you with funding to support a summer intern in one of the OITE cohort programs. We also provide opportunities for hands-on experience through summer journal clubs and other on-campus teaching opportunities.
Our graduate students and postdocs also gain hands-on experience by teaching for the FAES and at local community colleges and colleges.
