University Park -- Nominations for Awards Due November 1
The Graduate School is seeking nominations for the Penn State Alumni Association
Dissertation Awards, the Graduate Assistant Outstanding Teaching Award,
the Graduate Program Chair Leadership Award, the Graduate Faculty Teaching
Award, and the Howard B. Palmer Faculty Mentoring Award. Nominations for
these awards are due November 1.
The Penn State Alumni Association Dissertation Awards provide funding and
recognition to outstanding full-time doctoral students who have passed their
comprehensive exams and have received approval of their dissertation topics,
or to M.F.A. students in their final year.
The Graduate Assistant Outstanding Teaching Award recognizes a graduate
assistant for outstanding teaching performance and is open to graduate students
who have served as graduate assistants for at least two semesters within
the last two years.
The Graduate Program Chair Leadership Award recognizes a faculty member
for exemplary leadership benefiting graduate students and faculty in an
existing graduate degree program at Penn State.
The Graduate Faculty Teaching Award recognizes a faculty member for outstanding
teaching performance and advising of doctoral students. The award is for
those who have not received the University’s highest accolade for teaching
and scholarship (an Evan Pugh professorship, a distinguished professorship,
or the Eisenhower or Lindback awards).
The Howard B. Palmer Faculty Mentoring Award is presented to a full-time
member of the faculty who has demonstrated "effective mentoring through
guiding and nurturing the collegial and professional development of junior
faculty."
