CALL FOR NOMINATIONS | FASS INSPIRING MENTOR AWARD 2023

Now in its sixth year, the FASS Inspiring Mentor Award (FiMA) continues to acknowledge and recognise inspiring colleagues in our community who demonstrated an exceptional commitment to mentoring through their work and are passionate to nurture the intellectual, professional and personal growth of other colleagues.

Whether it is giving career roadmap advice, suggesting ways to improve teaching or research, or just providing a listening ear, we know that mentors can make a big difference. Beyond that, mentorship also plays a crucial role in retaining and nurturing quality faculty and administrative staff, and in building up a strong and cohesive institutional culture.

So please do join in, and nominate your mentor who has gone beyond the call of duty to positively impact your work and life. The eligibility criteria and nomination procedure are outlined below.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2019 FASS Inspiring Mentor Awards.

Launched in 2018, the annual FASS Inspiring Mentor Awards are conferred on Faculty and Administrative staff who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to mentoring their junior colleagues and whose mentorship has been especially impactful on the good conduct, performance and professional growth of their mentees.

“Mentorship is a crucial factor in retaining and nurturing quality faculty and administrative staff, and in building up a strong and cohesive institutional culture. The role that such inspiring mentors play in this, is greatly appreciated,” said Professor Robbie B.H. Goh, Dean, FASS, in his announcement of the winners.

“There were a number of worthy nominees. Evidence showed that the nominees did not simply do the things which might be considered ‘in the course of duty’ but went above and beyond that, and really sacrificed their own time and energy for the sake of their mentees,” added Professor Goh. “I hope that we will all try to do our part as mentors, and build up an institutional culture that we can all be proud of.”

The winners of the inaugural FASS Inspiring Mentor Awards were: Associate Professor Serene Tan (Economics); Associate Professor Chris McMorran (Japanese Studies); and Associate Professor Stephen Lim (Psychology).
