Purpose: This study is designed to see if there is a relationship between the type of undergraduate college and the availability of mentorship opportunities for undergraduates studying in STEM programs. The data collected from this study will be used to help better understand this relationship.
Procedures/Tasks: If you agree to participate, you will complete a questionnaire that asks you to complete questions about possible mentorship experiences and the type of undergraduate program that you attended. You will also be asked to answer basic demographic questions such as age and gender.
Duration: Completing this questionnaire should take no more than 15 minutes of your time. You may leave the study at any time. If you decide to stop participating in the study, there will be no penalty to you, and you will not lose any benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. Your participation in this study will be completely anonymous.
