ACE Project Co-PI and ReACH Lab Director, Dr. Elisa Trucco, has been awarded the University Graduate School (UGS) Provost Award for Mentorship of Graduate Students after being nominated by her three graduate students. The award “recognizes excellence in the teaching and mentoring of graduate students outside the formal classroom experience” and seeks to identify mentors “who share their knowledge and experience to enhance the scholarly, professional, and personal development of graduate students.” UGS describes worthy mentors as those who “guide students in the development of research topics, help them understand the ethical issues of their disciplines, assist them in publishing their work, introduce them to career opportunities and networks, and serve as role models providing moral, emotional, and intellectual support.”

Congratulations on this exciting achievement Dr. Trucco, and thank you for all the guidance and support you offer to graduate students!
