Graduate Student Mentor Awards
Honor the graduate student in your department who takes the time to help others succeed in graduate school by nominating him or her for a Graduate Student Mentor Award. Any student or staff can submit a nomination for this award on behalf of a deserving graduate student. To nominate an outstanding grad student mentor, simply complete the form. Individuals or groups can combine to submit a single nomination on behalf of one nominee; the web form allows information for up to three (3) nominators.
Criteria for this award will go as follows: fill out the Graduate Student Mentor Awards Nomination Form with all the requested information, write 200-400 words detailing how this person exhibited mentorship qualities (preference will be given to specific examples of mentorship), and the nominee must be a UW Madison Graduate Student who has mentored other graduate students. Be sure to include all the requested contact information. The application deadline has been extended to Wednesday, March 11.
The nominations will be evaluated by an Evaluations Committee composed of both MGN and GSC. Awardees will be honored at the Peer Mentor Award Ceremony on April 21, 2009. The ceremony will be held in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Please RSVP with by April 7th if you plan on attending.
This program is organized annually by the Multicultural Graduate Network (MGN), The Graduate Student Collaborative (GSC), and the UW-Madison Graduate School.
