Outstanding Graduate Mentor of the Year Award

The Outstanding Graduate Mentor of the Year recognizes faculty who have a record of excellence in graduate student mentorship. They are effective advisors who facilitate degree completion, model sound scholarship and ethical behavior, provide emotional support, extend constructive criticism, involve students in publishing and other professional activities, and prepare students for their careers after they have completed their degrees. Submissions can only be made by the college deans’ offices, and each college may nominate only one mentor for this recognition.

This award is presented at the Faculty Awards Ceremony each spring.
