Faculty Award for Mentoring in Creative Inquiry

Each year the university recognizes one faculty mentor for their exemplary mentorship to their CI students at the Spring University Awards Ceremony. Nominations for the 2025 award are open November 18, 2024 – February 28, 2025.

To be considered for this award, undergraduate CI students must nominate the mentors and a review committee selects recipients.

The award is made possible by an endowment from Phil and Mary Bradley and consists of a plaque and a salary supplement.
