Group I: Group I (communication workshops, video, surveys)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants complete 2 communication workshops about conversational skills and development of a video about the summer student's research experience over 3 hours each during the second week of the summer research experience and 2-3 weeks before the conclusion of summer experience. Participants also complete surveys over 15 minutes each about their communication, their engagement with research, mentoring experience, and current career intentions, before participating in the workshop, after the second workshop and at 6 months after the conclusion of the summer experience.
Group II: Group II (generic communication workshops, surveys)Active Control2 Interventions
