Research rotations provide an opportunity for each student to experience the research environment in several different labs. These experiences are critical for choosing an appropriate lab/mentor for one's thesis work.

The mentor and the student are to complete and submit an evaluation of the lab rotation using one of the forms below. These forms can also be found on the forms page under "student resources" on our website. The Lab Rotation Mentor will assign a letter grade on the evaluation form to indicate the student's performance in the lab rotation.
