Greenberg and Hamilton receive Graduate Mentoring Award for Faculty

Two FPA faculty members are among the first faculty at Carleton to receive the Graduate Mentoring Award for Faculty.

Josh Greenberg, of the School of Journalism and Communication, and Sheryl Hamilton, of the Department of Law and the School of Journalism and Communication, received the award along with 10 other faculty members.

The Graduate Mentoring Award for faculty, recently established by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs, in collaboration with the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International), recognizes faculty who demonstrate exceptional supervision and guidance to graduate students.

Faculty are nominated by colleagues or by graduate students, with the endorsement of the chair of the academic unit.

Josh Greenberg was praised for taking “a personal interest in our work while allowing us to explore our own ideas and approaches.  He is our strongest advocat, actively seeking and supporting funding and publishing opportunities for our research.”

One student said of Sheryl Hamilton, “[she] has been, since my first days in the department, a true inspiration and a brilliant mentor.”

Greenberg and Hamilton will be honoured, along with the other award recipients, at a reception on November 30.
