The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Outstanding Mentor Award: Camille Barchers, assistant professor of landscape architecture and regional planning (LARP), and Meredith Rolfe, associate professor of political science. This award recognizes SBS faculty who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the mentorship of students.
Professor Rolfe was recognized by many graduates for her mentoring work, noting that Professor Rolfe went above and beyond in her efforts to make data analysis accessible, guiding them through what can seem like intimidating subject matter. One student admires Professor Rolfe’s “knack for spotting students with untapped potential, her ability to instill confidence in them, and her willingness to value determination and hard work over privilege or past performance.” Thanks to successful mentorship, many DACSS graduates have gone on to successful careers using their knowledge of data analysis across several industries. Still, other graduates have pursued doctoral degrees in highly-ranked programs nationwide. Each student providing nomination materials noted that Professor Rolfe opened doors for them that they might not have otherwise considered.
Congratulations to Professor Meredith Rolfe for being one of the recipient of the 2023 SBS Outstanding Mentor Award! (News Office, 05/04/2023)
