The Graduate Mentor Award recognizes faculty members who are exceptional in fostering the intellectual, professional, and personal development of their students. It is the university's principal award for superb teaching, advising, and mentoring of graduate students.
Each year a selection committee, comprised of previous Graduate Mentor Award winners, and delegates from the Graduate Student Assembly and the Graduate School, receives scores of letters from graduate students nominating outstanding mentors from across our campus. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to submit thoughtful nominations acknowledging the dedication of these most generous scholars and teachers.
