Get Ready for MI2025 – Where Innovation Meets Mentorship!
This year’s NSHE Mentoring Institute (MI2025) is more than just an event—it’s a high-energy, collaborative experience designed to ignite connections and elevate STEM across Nevada! Join research faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and administrators from across NSHE for a dynamic forum that fuels discovery, fosters meaningful mentorship, and builds lasting professional networks.
Led by expert facilitators from the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), this year’s sessions will ignite innovation and collaboration!
  • Explore equitable outreach strategies to expand student engagement in undergraduate research.
  • Learn the power of tiered and peer mentoring—from student-to-student to faculty-to-faculty relationships.
  • Discover proven methods to foster inclusion of diverse populations in research mentoring.
  • Create actionable SMART plans to promote sustained growth, equity, and excellence in mentorship and research.
