Today (May 11) is the very last day to apply for the summer 2026 Research Mentoring Certificate program. This is a unique opportunity for MIT graduate students and postdocs to explore their mentoring practice and build skills in mentorship that will serve
them throughout their careers. The program is based upon the curriculum developed by the Center for Improving Mentoring Experiences in Research (CIMER), which is the preeminent source on the topic. Hundreds of MIT students and postdocs have completed the program,
and we are excited to bring in a new cohort. </div>
