Mentors
The Undergraduate Research Hub is pleased to partner with faculty members, research scientists, and other members of the academic community at UC San Diego to provide worthwhile research experiences to undergraduate students. Faculty can get involved in many ways, including serving as a mentor, a moderator at a conference, a reviewer for research applications, and more.
