The Mentored Employment Program provides College of Forestry (CoF) undergraduate students paid opportunities to work with members of CoF faculty on research projects or field experiences. These types of experiences enhance students' professional skills, build important mentor/protégé relationships and guidance while assisting faculty with important research.

CoF undergraduates and post-baccalaureate students, from College of Forestry undergraduate majors, are eligible to apply. Priority funding is available for students from diverse, underrepresented or underserved backgrounds that enhance a pluralistic community in the college. Students whose academic status would benefit from a mentorship experience are encouraged to apply.

The Mentored Employment Program provides a limited amount funding to pay student wages/OPE. Mentored employment opportunities are available during fall, winter and spring terms.
