Nominations are now open for the Shumaker-Wright Undergraduate Mentorship Award. This award recognizes faculty members for their role in supporting, encouraging, and promoting a positive and inclusive scholarly and teaching environment, and for contributing to the professional and personal development of undergraduate students. Mentoring involves not just successfully directing projects, theses, and dissertations, but also guiding and motivating in the context of students’ interests, passions, and personal circumstances. Student mentorship combines the areas of teaching, scholarship, and service which are held as the cornerstones of academia. This award will recognize faculty members who devotedly advise and work one-on-one with students on personalized, creative, enriching projects.
Please see the attached nomination form. Nominations are due on October 25. Direct any questions to Dr. Patricia Smith.
