The Outstanding Faculty Mentor of Master’s Students Award is presented each Spring at the May Doctoral Hooding and Commencement Ceremony.  This award honors one-on-one mentoring of master’s students through the direction of a thesis, supervision of a student’s research and creative activity, and/or oversight of a student’s internship, exhibition, or final professional paper.  All members of the graduate faculty who mentor students to the completion of the degree are eligible to be nominated by their chair, colleagues, or graduate students.
