The 11 faculty members listed on the application form have volunteered as MPACT mentors during Spring 2020. They are teaching a variety of undergraduate classes, including general chemistry (Chem 1061, 1062), organic (2301, 2302) in our department and at nearby Hamline and Augsburg colleges, green chemistry (4601), and graduate courses in physical chemistry (4021/8021 and 8564).
The time commitment for the mentee is expected to be (not more than) 5 hours/week, averaged over the semester. Since this is a significant commitment, we ask that each applicant obtain the research advisor's permission to participate (see signature line on p. 5).
If there are more applicants than there are faculty mentors, then upon consultation with each mentor, we will make a selection among applicants who requested that mentor and are a good fit for the class, with preference given to Chemistry Department postdocs and senior graduate students participating in the program for the first time.
