The One-on-One Research Mentorship Program is a structured, individualized initiative designed to support the scholarly development of faculty, staff, and students at Yorkville University. Through dedicated sessions with experienced researchers drawn from across the university community, participants receive personalized guidance, constructive feedback, and evidence-informed strategies to advance their research endeavors.
These sessions offer a confidential and supportive environment in which participants may discuss research conceptualization, methodological approaches, analytical challenges, and opportunities for scholarly growth. The program is well-suited for individuals at any stage of the research process — whether refining a project proposal, navigating data collection or analysis, preparing a manuscript for submission, or exploring the integration of research with teaching and professional practice.
