Mentoring is an integral part of encouraging faculty vitality and professional growth. Mentoring involves not only professional support, but also personal, and social aspects and includes activities related to teaching, scholarship, service and academic career development. The Annual Award for Excellence in Faculty Mentoring seeks to recognize the important role that faculty play in supporting their colleagues through supportive mentoring relationships.

    1. Eligibility

Individuals or groups may nominate a candidate. Once awarded, a faculty member is ineligible to receive the award in the subsequent two years.  All nominated faculty members not initially selected, as the awardee will be considered in the subsequent two years.
