[Faculty] Honors Faculty-Mentor Interest Form

[Honors Director]

Dear Colleagues,



I hope fall quarter is off to a great start.



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 2028.* If you are interested and available
to mentor one or more of these students, please complete this brief form at
your earliest convenience, preferably by Friday, October 9: *

<https://ucrhonors.wufoo.com/forms/honors-facultymentor-interest-form-202627/>



Students may reach out to you during the Fall 2026 quarter for possible
mentorship for a capstone project that would begin in Winter, 2027.

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
