University Level
The Graduate Faculty Mentorship Award (GFMA) is Ohio State Graduate School’s recognition of the exceptional guidance provided by the graduate faculty as mentors of graduate master’s, doctoral, and professional students. This award was developed to recognize graduate faculty members who are functioning as mentors, and will serve to annually recognize three tenure-track/tenured faculty members for their outstanding mentoring of graduate/professional students at Ohio State University.
Tenure-track/tenured faculty members will be selected by the Graduate School and awarded $1000 each, and a certificate, in recognition of their dedication and commitment to mentoring graduate/professional students.
