We are now in the fourth year of the FASS Inspiring Mentor Award, and we are calling for the nomination of our inspiring colleagues who should be recognised for their part in the fostering of a robust mentorship culture in our community. It is important that we continue to acknowledge and recognise our mentors who have invested in colleagues and who have been passionate about helping them develop and grow.

Whether it is giving career roadmap advice, suggesting ways to improve teaching or research, or just providing a listening ear, we know that mentors can make a big difference.  Beyond that, mentorship also plays a crucial role in retaining and nurturing quality faculty and administrative staff, and in building up a strong and cohesive institutional culture.

So we are asking all members of the FASS community to join in and nominate their mentors who have gone beyond the call of duty to positively impact their work and life. The eligibility criteria and nomination procedure are outlined in the poster below and the nomination form can be downloaded here.
