Geoffrey Marshall Mentoring Award

The Geoffrey Marshall Mentoring Award is given for outstanding support of a graduate student or graduate students from course completion through research and placement. Criteria that may be considered in selecting a nominee include: provision of sound advice with respect to course of study, encouraging the best performance from students, generosity of time or other measures of effort at mentoring, assisting an unlikely or superficially unpromising student through to successful completion and placement, advice and other assistance regarding quality and quantity of student papers or other forms of publication and performance, extraordinary efforts or success with placement. These criteria are not meant to be exhaustive, but instead to suggest activities that might be considered in a nominating letter. The nominee must have been a faculty member of the nominating institution for at least three years at the time of the nomination.

A certificate and a $1000 award check are presented at the annual meeting. The recipient is expected to attend the meeting as a guest of the Association.
