Short Description

Career-supporting mentoring experiences for higher education students can include opportunities to present, discuss and receive feedback from the broader professional community. A two-tiered mentorship program for undergraduate students interested in biometrics and related STEM fields was developed that involved synchronous online mentoring by senior researchers/experts and doctoral students. Over 1,800 interactions were captured between mentors and mentees in the MentorLoop platform, and 47 synchronous mentoring sessions were conducted during the project.
