The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs and the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International) will host the fifth annual Faculty Graduate Mentoring Awards in January 2015. These awards recognize faculty who render exceptional service to graduate students as supervisors and research mentors.

In order to be considered for an award, faculty must be nominated. Nominators can be current and/or former graduate students, faculty members, and/or staff. Nominations from former and/or current graduate students are particularly welcomed. Nominations should include a statement of no more than 500 words, attesting to the nominee’s exceptional contribution to graduate student supervision and research mentorship. Each individual must submit his/her own nomination. Unsuccessful nominees from previous years may be nominated again.

Nominations must be sent as an electronic attachment in Microsoft Word or “.pdf” format by November 15, 2014 to FGPA.EA@cunet.carleton.ca. Awards will be announced early in the New Year.

Details about the award, past recipients, and how to nominate someone are available in this Frequently Asked Questions document.
