Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology (UMEB)
UMEB is a scholarship-mentoring program that helps Northern Arizona University undergraduates from diverse backgrounds succeed in Environmental Biology by gaining research experience and exposure to the scientific endeavor.
The goals of our program are to:
- Recruit talented students from diverse backgrounds as UMEB "scholars;"
- Retain scholars by helping them succeed in their academics; and
- Refer scholars to graduate programs and careers in Environmental Biology.
UMEB scholars are involved in the scientific process from the beginning. They choose a mentor from among 21 faculty members from 10 different academic units on the NAU campus. Together they develop a research prospectus and plan. Over the next year scholars complete the research plan and prepare a final paper to be presented at a professional meeting.
Scholars benefit from four levels of mentoring and advisement: UMEB program staff; faculty mentors; UMEB co-scholars; and university support systems.
