Self Fellow Mentors

Self Fellows are uniquely positioned to bring funding with them as they begin work in their Ph.D.s programs. They may work on cutting edge research projects or join an established research team. Regardless, they are encouraged to seek out the faculty mentor who can best help them achieve their goals. Following is a list of the current mentors for Self Fellows. Mentors generally attend the annual mentor dinner in the fall, participate in the Spring Symposium, as well as other events throughout the year. Please note that eligible disciplines were modified in 2003.
