Nomination letters will be due in October (date to be determined), and should describe how the nominee reflects the intent of the award including scholarship, effective mentoring and community building. Self-nominations are accepted. Nominees will be notified and asked to a submit CV and a brief 300-word summary of their mentoring activities. The award will be announced at the Student Poster Showcase (date to be determined), and the recipient will receive $1,500 and a commemorative plaque.
