Sanjeev Arora wins Graduate Mentoring Award

Professor Sanjeev Arora has won a Graduate Mentoring Award from the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning and will be honored during the Graduate School's hooding ceremony on Monday, May 30. He is among the four Princeton faculty members that have been named the recipients of the Graduate Mentoring Awards by the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning and will be honored during the Graduate School's hooding ceremony on Monday, May 30.

The other recipients include: Edward Eigen, lecturer in architecture; Noreen Goldman, professor of demography and public affairs; and John Krommes, lecturer with the rank of professor in astrophysical sciences.

The McGraw Center, together with the Graduate School, instituted the award in 2002 to recognize Princeton faculty members whose work with graduate students is particularly outstanding. It is intended to honor faculty members who nurture the intellectual, professional and personal growth of their graduate students.

Graduate students nominate faculty members for the award and, along with faculty members, serve on the committee that selects the winners. One faculty member in each academic division (humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and engineering) is chosen. In addition to being honored at the ceremony, each receives a $1,000 award and a commemorative gift.
