Nominate an outstanding faculty mentor by November 1, 2018

Faculty members play a tremendous role in the development of scholarly identities. They enhance students’ training and support. Recognize your faculty member’s contribution to your educational experience by nominating them for an Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award.

Awards will be given in the categories of Outstanding Doctoral Mentor, Outstanding Master’s Mentor, Outstanding Instructional Faculty Member and Outstanding Postdoctoral Mentor. For more information or to submit a nomination, visit the Outstanding Faculty Mentor Awards homepage.

Now in its thirty-first year, the Outstanding Faculty Mentor Awards offer graduate students the opportunity to praise and recognize their faculty members’ contributions to their success.

“He treats each of his students as junior colleagues,” praised another. “What sets him apart is the way he measures his own success as a mentor. He strives not only to lead students to successful degree completion, but also to equip them with the required tools to cultivate long and productive careers in academia.”

Nominations will be collected through November 1, 2018, with awardees recognized at the annual Outstanding Faculty Mentor Awards reception on Wednesday, January 30, 2019. Nominations are accepted from ASU graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and graduate alumni.
