A Mentoring Program for Native Students

Working in conjunction with several Tribal Colleges, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has developed a model program for mentoring Native students. In this session we will share our approach with others who would like to develop effective mentoring for successful internship and recruitment plans. Our program has proven beneficial to the mentoring scientists in terms of moving forward on their projects, and to the students and Universities, in terms of gaining meaningful research experience and new pathways opening between our institutions.
