Hi newprofs!

Are you looking for ways to:
- connect with more undergrad students in your research?
- help undergrad students learn more about what research is?
- give your graduate students an opportunity to supervise and mentor a
student?

The Toronto Undergraduate Research in Computer Science club is running a
"Research-a-thon" in the month of November. See below for details. If
you or your students are interested in mentoring a group, please contact
Sophie Nam s.nam@mail.utoronto.ca or the TURCS group turcsuoft@gmail.com

There is no explicit deadline, but they do need to match mentors and
groups by the beginning of November, so sooner is best.

During the Research-a-thon, students will form groups of 4-5 to work on
a single research project together over 3 sessions of 3 hours over the
month of November. We believe that this will provide the students with a
better understanding of research and push them to reach out to
professors and graduate students on their own if they wish to continue
on with research.

We are reaching out to professors, graduate students, and experienced
undergraduates to ask if they would possibly be available mentor one of
the groups. The mentors could provide their mentee group with the
research project and observe and guide them through their work in the
short sessions, or use one of the projects we have received from
professors last year.
