They would ask you questions about your work, visit your lab, and see visual plots, posters, or instruments of interest. </font><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:small">They will videotape the interview and your facilities/instruments, and use it to create a small composite with other students’ videos. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:small"><br></span></div><div><font face="Calibri" size="2">During other parts of the week, students will be meeting Jim Hurrell, Tom Bogdan, Tom Windham, hearing talks, visiting RAF, doing field trips, cohort building, and getting professional development training.

In the past, time with the mentors was rated the most highly of all of the events, and so you can be sure that it is worthwhile.
