Thirty-one College Faculty Members Receive Mentor Recognition at Spring Faculty Meeting

During the 2016 spring faculty meeting, the College of Engineering and Office of Faculty Advancement at North Carolina State University celebrated the critical role that many of the College’s professors play in the development of junior faculty members.
 
“The mentorship of our early career faculty is an important component of what we do in the College of Engineering as they navigate their professional environment and career path,” said Dr. Christine Grant, associate dean of faculty advancement in the College.
 
During the month of January, which is recognized as National Mentoring Month, the College of Engineering Faculty Advancement unit invited junior faculty members, including assistant and assistant teaching professors, to nominate a professor who devoted their time and effort in providing mentoring and support through the navigation of professional development and career paths. From that list, 31 faculty members were selected.
 
Each recognition recipient cited received a certificate from the dean and associate dean of the College and a signed copy of the book “Success Strategies From Women in STEM,” written and edited by Peggy A. Pritchard and Grant.
 
The following faculty members were recipients of the inaugural Faculty-2-Faculty Mentor Recognition:
