Location: Meyer Library 204
Please join us for information on the Missouri State University Scholar 2 Scholar (S2S) program sponsored by the Division of Diversity and Inclusion (DDI). This program was established to encourage engagement in research and to match undergraduate students to faculty mentors while assisting with faculty research and other creative projects. S2S is a campus-wide research initiative which supports students with work-study awards and interest in working with faculty from all disciplines as a research assistant.
Join us to find out more and sign up for the Scholar 2 Scholar program. You too can find a student research assistant for your special projects and provide mentoring that increases student retention in your program.
Please register through My Learning Connection.

How Can I Better Manage Difficult Conversations with Faculty?
A new program begins Monday, November 16
Is there a conversation you should have with a faculty member that you’re putting off because you’re afraid of how she or he will react? A technique called motivational interviewing is the key and you’ll learn how it could help you do a better job of navigating the rough spots of academic life in this program.
To access the Monday Morning Mentor programs, email the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning or call 836-3059.
