Faculty-Student Mentoring Program (F-SMP)
The mission of the Faculty-Student Mentoring Program (F-SMP) at the College of Business Administration is to support student engagement and development through undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative initiatives.
Participation in the program is highly selective. Student protégés work closely with two highly respected mentors, Dr. Lynn Shore (personal page) and Dr. Martina Musteen (personal page) to develop research skills in the areas of management, entrepreneurship, international business, leadership, and marketing.
Students selected for the program get the opportunity to:
- Develop a long-term, supportive relationship with a mentor and fellow protégés
- Gain real-world research experience
- Add an entry that looks great on a grad school application or resume
- Develop in-depth knowledge about a management or marketing topic of interest
- Benefit from working with other ambitious and academically minded students
- Work on a research project of their own choice
- Learn about a scientific approach to business
- Polish writing and presentation skills
- Learn to design studies and present conclusions in conferences
- Become more familiar with contemporary approaches to data collection and analysis
- Become more attractive to potential employers
- Prepare for graduate education
- Get three elective credit hours
Students work with their mentors by both attending regular meetings and working independently on their own.
