Each year, UROP recognizes outstanding mentors who have exceeded expectations in providing opportunities and guidance to their UROP students. These exceptional mentors demonstrate an interest in the college experiences, academic goals, and career plans of their students.
Nominations are reviewed by UROP staff and Peer Facilitators. Award winners are honored during the UROP Spring Research Symposium in April and include a stipend.
