Our FMN Mentors
Over the 2022-2023 school year BioQUEST facilitated 14 Faculty Mentoring Networks, bringing together more than 100 educators to connect over a broad common goal: to improve the student experience in today’s STEM classrooms.
Participants explored how they could incorporate and teach new skill sets, how they could give students hands-on research experiences, how the data and models used could be made more relevant, inclusive, applied and much, much more.
Over 30 mentors led the way in these groups, creating community at a crucial time, and providing expertise, advice, and guidance. In doing so, they have made significant contributions to STEM education, the professional growth of their peers, and to creating a vibrant, scholarly, innovative community around STEM education reform.

Thank you to our mentors for their time, effort, expertise, generosity, and commitment to professional growth and STEM education reform.
