Nominations open for Graduate Student Recognition Awards
Has your supervisor played a pivotal role in your graduate experience? Did she provide outstanding guidance and support? Perhaps a teaching assistant made a difference, and he deserves kudos for his work. Do you know a graduate student who has made an outstanding contribution as a team builder in athletics?
Nominations are open for the Annual Graduate Student Recognition Awards. Awards highlight student success in teaching, communicating research, contributions to international student life and leadership on campus and beyond.
