As part of Arizona State University’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has recently funded a project called Mutually Enriching Mentorship. “This project will both enhance graduate student experience and their sense of inclusion within the various schools. It will provide better mentoring because our faculty will learn more about student’s needs,” said Professor Hilairy Hartnett, one of the co-leads, who has a joint faculty position in the School of Molecular Sciences and the School of Earth and Space Exploration.
