GSAS awards outstanding mentorship
The Graduate Mentor Award recognizes faculty members who are exceptional in fostering the intellectual, professional, and personal development of their students. Originally developed in conjunction with the Graduate Student Assembly, the graduate school’s student government, the awards began in 2000 and are the university’s principal recognition for superb teaching, advising, and mentoring of graduate students. This year’s winners are: Sreeganga Chandra, associate professor of neurology and neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine; Jennifer Allen, associate professor of history in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS); Marynel Vázquez, assistant professor of computer science at the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science; and Grace Kao, the IBM Professor of Sociology and professor of ethnicity, race, and migration at FAS.
