DMA Nomination Process Open
Deadline: January 3, 2025
Without the dedication of UI faculty and staff mentors, there would be no undergraduate research.
To recognize the work that mentors put in to make their student's experiences successful, OUR created the Distinguished Mentor Award (DMA). Students are invited to nominate their faculty research mentor as a huge "Thank you!" for the time and talent their mentors have given.
Each year, OUR recognizes two faculty/staff members who have been nominated by their student mentee(s). All faculty and staff who mentor students in research, scholarly, or creative work are eligible for nomination. Any nominated mentors will be notified, making nomination alone a token of gratitude from the student.
Distinguished Mentor Awards come with the following benefits:
- An OUR Research Fellow of their choice for the upcoming summer or academic year.
- A beautiful award to be displayed proudly at home or the office.
- Recognition at the annual award ceremony hosted by the Office of the President recognizing faculty and staff achievements.
