Program Award for Graduate Student Mentorship

Starting in the 2022-23 academic year, departments are identified to receive the Program Award for Graduate Student Mentorship from the Graduate School. This award was launched as a way to recognize and honor graduate programs on campus who are setting standards of excellence in mentorship. Each department was chosen based on the following criteria: 1) having a strong Statement of Expectations for Graduate Student Mentoring; and 2) receiving excellent feedback from your graduate students on gradSERU survey questions about the quality of faculty mentoring and advising. This honor comes with a $1,000 award to the department to support mentoring activities.
