All UCR ladder-rank<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">faculty</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>members are eligible for the award.

and staff. To be considered for the award, a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">faculty</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>member must receive at least one letter of nomination. Please coordinate
with your colleagues, including<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">faculty</span>, current and prior students to provide the best possible file for the mentor. Letters should indicate specifically what makes the
nominee an outstanding mentor and why they should receive the award this year. Nominees of previous years will require re-nomination to be considered by this year's committee.<br>
<br>
The nominations will be reviewed by a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">faculty</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>committee composed of members of the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">Graduate</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>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<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">faculty</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>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 students. If letters of recommendation
were received last year for a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">faculty</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>member who is being re-nominated this year, the committee will consider those letters
(on file in the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">Graduate</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">Division</span>), as well.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
