Faculty, Mentors, and Staff
CHPR Mentors
The CHPR program will match each student with a primary CHPR mentor and possible co-mentors based on interdisciplinary interests and programmatic needs. CHPR mentors will typically be affiliated with SPRC. In special circumstances, the Program Director may approve a non-SPRC affiliated Stanford faculty member or instructor to serve as a mentor for a student.
CHPR mentors are responsible for advising students on course selection, assisting students with research, monitoring student progress, providing professional development, and approving and evaluating master’s theses. CHPR mentors will also provide ongoing support to students as they work on their internship projects.
