Faculty Mentor Award nominations sought



February 23, 2001


Nominations for the Graduate Student Senate's (GSS) second annual Outstanding Faculty Mentor Awards are due March 2. The awards are designed for students and alumni to honor faculty members whose dedication and commitment to excellence in graduate training have made a significant contribution to the quality of life and professional development of graduate students in Arts & Sciences at the University.

Graduate students' success and satisfaction in professional and personal development is often critically linked with the mentoring relationships developed during graduate training. The awards were created to gratefully acknowledge the outstanding work of faculty members mentoring graduate students in Arts & Sciences.

All students and alumni of the graduate school in Arts & Sciences can nominate mentors for this honor. The only requirement is that the nominee must have mentored the nominator at some point in his or her graduate career.

A GSS committee will select winners, which will be announced in late March. All award recipients, as well as graduate students, alumni, faculty and staff members, will be invited to the award ceremony and reception at 4 p.m. April 17 in Holmes Lounge.

The nomination form is on the GSS Web page: (http://artsci.wustl.edu/~gss/mentor_awards.html). Submissions should include specific examples and anecdotes of how the nominee positively affected the nominator's graduate life. All nominations will be kept confidential.

Nominations can be submitted via the Web or via the printable form, which can be mailed to: Mentor Awards Committee, c/o Graduate Student Senate, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, Campus Box 1187; or faxed to 935-4887, Attention: GSS Mentor Awards.
