2024 KORET MENTOR AWARDEES
We are delighted to announce the 2024 Koret Scholar Mentoring Awards as part of our third cohort of award-winning mentors. These individuals were nominated by their studnets and chosen because of their tireless dedication to undergraduate student research and their willingness to go above and beyond for their student(s).
One student wrote, “Their mentoring stretched beyond research projects. Rather than focus on just research, there is a thorough understanding to prepare mentees for the future. They put thought into the projects assigned me to make sure I had enough breadth and depth in skills, knowledge, and experience. In addition, they picked projects that would require me to work with people with different expertise...”
In recognition of their work as a mentor to an undergraduate student, they will each receive a $1000 award.

"Kristopher's dedication to his project has been impressive from start to finish. I'm struck at the end of this research process by the fact that he has truly deepened our understanding of a very important but understudied phenomenon in Mexico: the criminal shock groups (or "porros") that have long used violence to inhibit student organizing in so many of the country's universities".

Emily Nazario, Ph.D. Student, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
