OUR Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award aims to celebrate faculty-driven, student-centered, and institutionally supported research education efforts. In alignment with UNLV’s commitment to excellence in teaching and research, the award recognizes UNLV faculty research mentors with a record of excellence in inspiring, influencing, supporting, and mentoring undergraduate researchers in their professional development, career training, and educational journey.
Each year, OUR identifies and honors one faculty member in the Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences (AHS) and one faculty member in the Health & Natural Sciences & Engineering (HNSE) with a monetary prize of $1,000 and a plaque acknowledging the award.
