Mentoring: Investing in Future Stem Leaders with Dr. Jim Swartz

Jim Swartz, Ph.D., Dack Professor of Chemistry
Director, Center for Science and the Liberal Arts
2009 PAESMEM project awardee for The Grinnell Science Project (GSP)

GSP addresses acclimation to college life, non-traditional learning styles, and a lack of mentoring and role models. GSP creates a “web of mentoring” that encourages not only traditional mentoring of students by their teachers but also student-to-student and faculty-to-faculty relationships. GSP has been used as a model by a number of institutions of higher education, including Bowdoin College and Brown University.
