2024 Graduate Faculty Mentorship Award Nominations are now open

For this award, students are asked to write a nomination letter describing the mentorship they received from faculty. In the nomination letter, they can share impactful mentoring stories, describe how their mentor helped them feel a sense of belonging, empowered them to upskill their future resiliency, or supported networking for their future growth and employment opportunities. Nominations are accepted from February 1-29, 2024.

Nominations are accepted from presently enrolled graduate and professional students or from alumni of any of your graduate programs. Nominating a graduate faculty member for the GFMA is a great way for students and alumni to recognize their faculty mentor’s contributions to their academic and professional development.

If you have any questions, please contact Karin Jordan, Assistant Dean for Graduate Development and Engagement.
