Thirteen faculty recognized as outstanding mentors
This award from the Graduate School recognizes the work that faculty mentors do to improve the graduate student experience
Thirteen faculty have been recognized as this year’s outstanding graduate student mentors, 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.
To these faculty, your students appreciate your dedication and so do we. Thank you for all that you do.
“Faculty are always incredibly busy, and yet, these excellent mentors still found time to go above-and-beyond for their graduate students and have been recognized, in turn, by the students themselves,” said E. Scott Adler, dean of the Graduate School and the vice provost for graduate affairs. “To these faculty, your students appreciate your dedication and so do we. Thank you for all that you do.”
