Legacy Research Mentor

Honoring a Decade of Mentorship: The Legacy Research Mentor Award

The Legacy Research Mentor Award celebrates Faculty Research Mentors who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the next generation of scholars. This distinction is reserved for those who have dedicated 10 or more years to the Emerging Scholars Research Experience, providing the sustained guidance necessary for novice researchers to evolve into confident leaders.

At Indiana University, our students thrive because of the advocacy and expertise of these distinguished mentors. We are profoundly grateful for their enduring contributions to the Emerging Scholars Program and their vital role in shaping the future of IU’s research community.
