AK UNiTE COHORT 2: AK UNiTE is an NSF Funded Research Coordination Network in Undergraduate Biology, seeking to provide researchers with mentorship support. AK UNiTE aims to expand the ability of Alaskan students, particularly historically marginalized groups, to participate in biological research in Alaska. Cohort 2 is for individuals interested in inclusive mentoring from October 2023 to April 2024. Participants who join this cohort will be supported in discovering, learning, and incorporating effective and inclusive mentoring practices, with participants coming from Tribal entities, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions. Specific Activities: AKUNiTE will host three virtual meetings for the entire cohort: a kickoff, midway check-in, and final share-out:
- The week of Oct 16, 2023 - potentially morning (AKDT) of the 17th, but will ultimately depend on the availability of the cohort members
