Penn State Environ Mentors - In the EnvironMentors program, both Undergraduate/Graduate and high school students are paired with faculty mentors who supervise, lead, and direct their research. The undergraduate/graduate mentor’s role is to be a mentor that the high students can come to with questions about college life and experiences. Through mentorship, we hope that healthy, positive, and impactful relationships are established within research groups.
