[Faculty] Honors Faculty-Mentor Interest Form

[Honors Director]

Dear Colleagues,



I hope this message finds you well.



Would you like to work with highly motivated undergraduates who can
contribute to your research? Do you enjoy collaborating with engaged
students on interdisciplinary, creative, or community-focused projects? If
so, I warmly invite you to serve as a faculty-mentor for University Honors
at UCR.



University Honors is among the most diverse honors programs in the nation,
offering students the unique opportunity to work closely with a
faculty-mentor on research, creative activity, or experiential learning
that will culminate in a capstone project. For our students, this is a
chance to explore a topic of deep interest with an expert in the field. For
faculty-mentors, it’s an opportunity to collaborate with a driven student
on a project of mutual interest.



*As a faculty-mentor, you will also have the option to include "Honors
Capstone Mentor" in your eFile, recognizing your invaluable contribution.
You can indicate this under “Other Pedagogical Activities” in the tab,
“Teaching Information.”*



I encourage you to consider mentoring a University Honors student on their
capstone project. Most of these students are in their third year and are on
track to graduate in June 2027.* If you are interested and available to
mentor one or more of these students, please complete this brief form by
Friday, October 10, 2025:*
*https://ucrhonors.wufoo.com/forms/honors-facultymentor-interest-form-202526/*
<https://ucrhonors.wufoo.com/forms/honors-facultymentor-interest-form-202526/>



The form will allow you to describe your research area and specify the
number of students you’re willing to mentor, beginning in Winter 2026.



Once compiled, the list will be shared with all students enrolled in HNPG
149, giving them the opportunity to explore potential faculty-mentors.



For more information about University Honors, please visit honors.ucr.edu. I
would also be happy to discuss the program with you personally in person or
via Zoom. Send me an email honorsdirector at ucr.edu to schedule a time to
meet.



Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our undergraduate students and to
University Honors.



Sincerely,



Begoña

Dr. Begoña Echeverria
