The Provost’s Award for Excellence in Doctoral Mentoring annually recognizes outstanding mentoring of graduate students seeking a research doctorate degree.
Any current, active graduate faculty member who supervises graduate students pursuing PhD degrees or other research doctoral degrees, and who has served as a primary mentor (e.g., as thesis committee advisor) for five or more doctoral students, is eligible to be nominated. While a minimum of five students is required, the focus of the award is to recognize the quality of the mentoring provided and not the number of students mentored.
Up to four awards are made each year, and each Provost’s Award for Excellence in Doctoral Mentoring consists of a cash prize of $2,500 to the graduate faculty member to recognize excellence in mentoring.
