The MagLab offers many mentorship-based programs within the MagLab's education department including a High School Externship, Research Experience for Undergraduates and Research Experience for Teachers.
In 2022, the MagLab also launched a Research Mentor Incubator program to give graduate students, postdocs and faculty resources and structure to grow professionally and learn how to mentor others. Built around a mentorship education curriculum developed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) at University of Wisconsin-Madison, the incubator works to engage participants and develop both mentor and mentee skills around aligning expectations, assessing understanding, fostering independence, addressing equity and inclusion, and maintaining effective communication.
