Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award Statements  

The Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award Statements booklet is a collection of personal statements from the 1999-2002 Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award recipients at the University of Washington. This award was established to acknowledge a faculty member's outstanding contributions to the education and guidance of graduate students. Our hope is that you might use these statements as a resource and model for effectively mentoring graduate students. It is available on our website in PDF format, or you may email us to order a copy or copies for a nominal fee.

For more information on how to nominate an exceptional graduate mentor for the University of Washington's Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award see the Graduate School's web page: http://www.grad.washington.edu/mentor/index.htm.

We'd like to thank Bianca L. Bernstein, Dean of the Graduate College of Arizona State University, for providing this idea as a Promising Practice. Credit for developing the concept also needs to be given to Lonnie Ostrom (President of the ASU Foundation), Florence Nelson (chair of the ASU Dean's Council of Advisors and Vice Chair of the ASU Foundation Board), and members of the Graduate College staff.  The Arizona State University's Outstanding Graduate Mentors 2000 Graduate Teaching Awards has been to many an inspiration and resource of quality graduate mentoring.
