“I was able to answer particular questions about the importance, planning and implementation of sponsoring and promoting undergraduate research,” he said.

He said that since the conference he has kept in touch with several students and faculty via email, and has given one student advice on her current research.

“Technology can help in becoming an ‘overseas mentor,’ ” he said.
