[Faculty] 2025 Faculty Mentorship Awards

[GradAwards GradAwards]

Dear Faculty,

Being a good mentor to our graduate students is one of the most important parts of our job as professors.  It is a contribution to our students and our graduate programs that deserves recognition. To that end, Graduate Council and the Graduate Division are now accepting nominations for:

The Senate 2025 Doctoral Dissertation Advisor/Mentoring Award
The recipient will be recognized at the Commencement Ceremony and receive a prize of $3000.
The Graduate Division’s 2025 Commitment to Graduate Diversity Award
The recipient will be recognized at the Commencement Ceremony receive a prize of $3000.

Awardees will receive a plaque at the Graduate Division Award Celebration on April 10th, 2025.
All UCR ladder-rank faculty members are eligible for the award.  Letters of nomination are invited from current and former graduate students, faculty, and staff.  To be considered for the award, a faculty member must receive at least one letter of nomination.  Please coordinate with your colleagues, including faculty, current and prior students to provide the best possible file for the mentor. Letters should indicate specifically what makes the nominee an outstanding mentor. Nominees of previous years will require re-nomination to be considered by this year's committee.

The nominations will be reviewed by a faculty committee composed of members of the Graduate Council.  The committee will take into consideration not only the quality and number of letters of recommendation received but also the number of students the faculty has mentored and whether the nominee has a long history of effective mentoring.  If a nominee came to UCR midway through their career, the committee will consider the entire career but will emphasize the mentoring of UCR graduate students.

Attached you will find further details on the award along with last year’s recipients.
Please complete the nomination form by following this link:

Thank you in advance for supporting excellence in mentorship of our graduate students.
