Abstract
This award supported a multifaceted mentoring environment for students with a focus on plant biodiversity. The objectives were to provide support for two students participating in a focused, study abroad program sponsored by an NSF Partnerships in Research and Education award for which the PI is a participant, and support for multifaceted research that includes training in herbarium curation and contemporary plant systematics. The goal for all participants was to provide training and skills useful for successful graduate study or employment. Because the project was extended beyond one year, this mentoring award serviced more students than originally anticipated. Beyond the PI and Dr. Duane Atwood in the herbarium, this mentoring environment involved one post-doc, one graduate students, Nineteen undergraduate students, and two visiting researchers from Argentina.
