Researcher profiles: Teaching students to cultivate a successful online presence

Abstract

Students engaging in undergraduate research have the opportunity to learn from a mentor, often preparing them for future careers in industry or professional programs. While these students gain high-level, technical research skills, students often do not consider or create marketable deliverables that they can use in the future to influence their career trajectory and curate their online identity. In this session, presenters will work with attendees on pedagogical approaches for teaching undergraduate researchers or others engaging in similar high-impact practices to synthesize their personal, professional, and academic experiences in order to develop research profiles related to career goals and objectives.
