Mentoring Programs

ALUMNI CAREER MENTOR PROGRAM via LinkedIn

The LinkedIn Get Connected with Career Services at Wright State University group helps Career Mentors and students connect.  This program provides students with the opportunity to network with alumni to gather information.  Students may explore career options, discuss career paths, explore prospective career fields, ask about job search strategies and/or engage in conversation to learn more about specific career industries.  Students post questions on the group’s discussion board and alumni respond.

Students are encouraged to meet with a Career Services adviser to discuss how to gather career related information and network professionally.

Wright State University School of Medicine accepts 12 outstanding minority college students each year to participate in summer research opportunities in biomedical sciences. S.T.R.E.A.M.S will select twelve college students from throughout the nation for this 10-12 week summer program, which gives the students the opportunity to conduct laboratory research under the guidance of medical school faculty mentors. The program is designed to encourage members of underrepresented groups to pursue careers in biomedical research.

The S.T.R.E.A.M.S program is funded by a grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The program offers free campus housing and a monthly stipend of $1,224/month.

S.T.R.E.A.M.S participants will be organized into three general interdisciplinary areas: cellular mechanisms, endocrinology/hypertension and cardiovascular epidemiology. The students will spend about 80 percent of their time conducting biomedical research in Wright State laboratories and working closely with medical school faculty. In addition, they will read papers from biomedical literature, make scientific presentations, and explore the social and ethical implications of scientific research.
