Thank you to all of the faculty, staff and graduate students who have served as research mentors to our undergraduate students.
The winner of this year’s UWM Undergraduate Research Mentor of the Year Award is Shannon Freire, Visiting Assistant Professor of Anthropology.
Comments from Shannon’s nominations include: “My mentor is always liberal with her time, her knowledge and her openness for discussion.” “She inspires an ethos of trust, humbleness and respect in her student mentees, and encourages us to be great not just as researchers, but as colleagues to our SURF cohort, as students, and as individuals in our field.” “Getting to be her mentee has been a privilege – one that has made me feel like a true part of UWM’s community.” Congratulations, Shannon!
