University Outstanding Research Mentorship Award

University Outstanding Research Mentorship Award

Mentors Matter

This award recognizes the extraordinary efforts by a faculty and/or staff member for providing outstanding research mentoring to UCCS students, staff, research associates, and/or faculty. A research mentor can facilitate another person’s research development and research success in a number of ways, including by promoting access to information and resources, facilitating skill development and networking, and/or serving as a coach for navigating the research landscape. A research mentor fosters the success of individual students, staff, research associates, and/or faculty members. Our goal is to acknowledge the impact of research mentors in creating a positive culture of research at UCCS.

A big congratulations to Professor Sylvia Mendez for winning the fourth annual University Outstanding Research Mentorship Award! We are so thankful to have people like her on our campus.
