The CCB-SEEDS Mentorship Program is recruiting mentors for the Spring 2026 cohort! Please sign up by Wednesday, April 15, 2026 if your research is in the fields of Ecology, Evolution, and/or Conservation Biology, and you have a desire to foster undergraduate interest in your field. No previous experience is required and grad students of all stages are encouraged to apply!

As a mentor, you will work one-on-one with an undergraduate in a structured yet flexible format to teach them the basics of your field and research (see Spring 2026 Program Description). This is a great opportunity to connect casually with enthusiastic students that could end up being your vital research assistants, and mentorship is a highly sought-after addition to your CV. The mentor workload is extremely low, and mentorship is a valuable experience as a grad student. 

If you are not able to participate this quarter but would still like to support the program, you can help us by sharing our undergraduate student recruitment flyer with your classes or your lab's undergraduate researchers!
