Everett Mendelsohn Exellence in Mentoring Awards

2008 Mentoring Award Recipients Announced

The Excellence in Mentoring Award was established by the Graduate Student Council in 1998-99 to honor those Harvard faculty members who truly go out of their way to mentor GSAS students. The award honors faculty for efforts in supporting, encouraging and promoting their graduate students' research, education, professional and personal development, and career plans. Such efforts often go unnoticed – but not unappreciated. The Awards were renamed in honor of Professor of the History of Science Everett I. Mendelsohn upon his retiring from the Master of Dudley House in 2002.

We invite all GSAS students to nominate candidates to receive this unique honor. Awards will be presented annually to one or more faculty members on the basis of nominations from GSAS students. Nominations are judged by the selection committee to be prime examples of what it means to truly serve as a mentor. In addition to honoring individual faculty members for their concerns for students, it is the hope of the Council that these mentors will serve as models for the entire Faculty.

The GSC received a 1999 Program Award from the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students in recognition of the Excellence in Mentoring Awards. See the presentation made by the GSC during the recognition ceremony.
