Health & Life Sciences Mentorship Program for Winter Quarter – Application Now Open
Interested in a career where you can help others and make an impact on the health and well-being of individuals in the Seattle area and beyond? There are a broad range of non-clinical opportunities in health and life science, many of which do not require advanced degrees. Join our mentorship program to learn more about non-clinical roles such as: 1) Research & Development / Scientist / Technician, 2) Administration / Management / Operations, 3) Human Resources / Recruiting / Staff Development, and 4) Customer Service / Client Support. We are piloting identity-based matching for students who identify as People of Color and/or LGBTQIA+. Depending on preferences and mentor availability, students will have the opportunity to be matched with a mentor that shares their identity(s) or similar life experiences.
Application Criteria:
- Undergraduate student at UW Seattle who has completed 3 quarters at UW or transferred to UW with the equivalent credits.
- Must be available during the Winter 2024 quarter on Tuesdays OR Wednesdays from 4:00-7:00pm.
