Global Mentor in Doctoral Education Award

INDEN presents the Global Mentor in Doctoral Education Award to recognize an individual for their excellence in mentoring international doctoral students. The Award will be presented at the INDEN Educational Conference and the recipient will receive a complimentary conference registration.

Nominations should reflect the extent to which the mentor has provided encouragement, support, and personal and professional development to yourself or others including faculty, colleagues, and students.

International in this context, means students, not from the country where the mentor resides. The Global Mentor award recognizes a scholar who has excelled at assisting others in achieving their career objectives through their continual support.
