Mentor-Mentee Agreements

We encourage all mentors to begin their relationship with a new mentee using a mentor-mentee agreement (MMA) or research compact. These documents support clear communication of expectations by both the mentor and the mentee creating a strong foundation of collaboration. Have an agreement to share? Send to undergradresearch@mail.wvu.edu
