Distinguished Service Award

The Distinguished Mentor Award: Service and Education recognizes a faculty member of the Emory University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences who has served as an outstanding mentor to departmental faculty or trainees in the service and/or educational domain(s).

Each year we will give up to two awards:

• Distinguished Mentor Award: Service and Education - Assistant Professor
• Distinguished Mentor Award: Service and Education - Associate or Full Professor

Part-time or full-time faculty within the Emory University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences who are currently serving as a formally recognized mentor to faculty or trainees are eligible to receive the Distinguished Mentor Award: Service and Education. Faculty members who have received this award within the previous five years are ineligible.

A current mentee or group of mentees may submit a nomination. A concise, < 2000-word narrative describing the attributes that distinguish the nominee as a mentor should accompany the nomination. Additional letters (one page maximum per letter) from other current or previous mentees are encouraged. Do not provide more than five letters.

Send electronic submissions to Nadine Kaslow, PhD, ABPP, Vice Chair for Faculty Development, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Submissions should include the nominating letter, name and contact information of the faculty member being nominated (Word or PDF) and additional letters of support from previous mentees, if applicable. We will accept nominations through midnight EDT July 1, 2024.

A committee comprised of the Vice Chair for Faculty Development, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the Assistant Vice Chairs for Faculty Development will select the award recipient via an email vote. The Chair of the Department will serve as an ex-officio member of the committee and will have input without a vote. Members of the committee will recuse themselves if they are nominated for a particular award. We will notify award winners by August 1, 2024.
