Congratulations to these winners! Mentorship is a crucial factor in retaining and nurturing quality faculty and administrative staff, and in building up a strong and cohesive institutional culture. The role that such inspiring mentors play in this is greatly appreciated.

There were a number of worthy nominees. Evidence showed that the nominees did not simply do the things which might be considered “in the course of duty,” but went above and beyond that, and really sacrificed their own time and energy for the sake of their mentees.

As we thank these winners for their contributions, we further encourage all our colleagues (academic and administrative) to continue to nominate their inspiring mentors for consideration.
