Twenty-two faculty recognized as exceptional mentors
The Exceptional Graduate Faculty Mentor Award recognizes the work that faculty mentors do to improve the graduate student experience
Twenty-two faculty have been recognized with this year’s Exceptional Graduate Faculty Mentor Award, the Graduate School announced this week.
These faculty were nominated by students, department or program administrators, faculty or staff for their outstanding contributions either to mentoring individual graduate students, improving the overall climate of graduate education within their program, or improving the graduate program itself.
“The support and enhancement of mentoring is a priority initiative of the Graduate School and that work couldn’t be done without faculty support,” said Scott Adler, dean of the Graduate School and vice provost for graduate affairs. “The faculty members recognized by this award have demonstrated their willingness to go above and beyond as a trusted mentor for their students and we’re excited to be able to honor these excellent leaders.”
