Finding a Mentor

You must find a mentor before submitting your research proposal. Your mentor must be an NU faculty member.

Talk to your AOSC group leader about your interests and ask for recommendations
Talk to your fellow students! To see what students have published and with whom, check out this list of students who have most recently worked with mentors you may have identified.
Talk to Liza Rivnay (Associate director of Student Research) who can connect you to students and faculty.
Contact a department liaison: These are faculty members who have expressed interest in connecting you to faculty in their department based on your research interests. This is a regularly updating list and our plan is to have every department (clinical and research) represented.
