Honors students from across the University of Memphis campus have the opportunity to nominate a professor for the Honors Program’s Excellence in Undergraduate Mentoring Award.  The award is intended to recognize demonstrated excellence in mentoring undergraduate researchers, and to convey the Honors Program’s high regard for such contributions made by our faculty.
