Nominations are open for two awards honoring graduate students who have distinguished themselves as mentors of undergraduates. Each of the six recipients will receive a $1,000 award. The deadline to nominate is Monday, May 10, 2021.
The deadline for the 2021 Graduate Division Mentoring Awards is approaching. To recognize and encourage the efforts of graduate students who serve as effective mentors, the Graduate Division offers two awards for students who have distinguished themselves in the area of undergraduate research supervision: the Fiona and Michael Goodchild Graduate Mentoring Award and the Carol Genetti Graduate Mentoring Award. Three recipients of the Fiona and Michael Goodchild Graduate Mentoring Award and three recipients of the Carol Genetti Graduate Mentoring Award will receive $1000 each (six awards in all).
As of last year, the nomination process has changed in the following important ways:
-
Departments may nominate a maximum of two (2) graduate students per year to be considered for the mentoring award
-
Departments should internally coordinate their selections, and nominations must be submitted by the department chair or faculty graduate program advisor
-
For programs and institutes not housed in academic departments but who wish to nominate a student, please coordinate recommendations through the student's home department
The deadline to nominate is Monday, May 10, 2021.
All materials must be submitted online through this form. Email and hard copy submissions will not be accepted. Please visit the award website for important information on eligibility and nomination procedures. If you have any questions, you can email Shawn Warner, Director of Professional Development for the Graduate Division.
