The Excellence in Immersion Mentoring Award

The Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award and the Excellence in Immersion Mentoring Award were established in 2023 by Provost C. Cybele Raver to recognize outstanding faculty contributions in the form of relational leadership and development. Final selections for both awards are made by the Chancellor on the basis of nominations made online by undergraduates of all schools and colleges. Students are asked to nominate a faculty mentor in support of either an Immersion Vanderbilt project or an undergraduate research opportunity, and nominations include details about the faculty mentor’s capability and support that go beyond the standard faculty advisor role. Each recipient receives a cash prize and an engraved pewter Washington Camp Cup.
