Faculty Can Celebrate and Recognize Their Faculty Mentors

To celebrate and recognize our outstanding faculty mentors, the Office for Faculty Affairs calls on non-tenure track, pre-tenure and mid-career faculty members to nominate a faculty mentor to be honored as an outstanding mentor.

Nominations are accepted online throughout the year. Nominations received by March 15 will be reviewed by the Office for Faculty Affairs advisory committee. Outstanding mentors will be selected by the committee and recognized during Faculty Appreciation Week in April.

Outstanding mentors help promote excellence in teaching, research and/or service while encouraging a healthy work-life balance. They cultivate faculty career advancement and belonging. Outstanding mentors assist mentees in building their professional networks, advocate for their mentees and create avenues for mentee recognition. They demonstrate commitment to fostering mentees' professional development and promote mutually beneficial mentoring relationships.

Nominate an outstanding mentor today. Visit this page for nomination forms, eligibility guidelines and more information.
