The presentation of the award will be made on April 14 during a <a href=\"http:\/\/brocku.ca\/graduate-studies\/conferences-events\" target=\"_blank\">full day of graduate student oral and poster presentations<\/a> on the fourth floor of the Plaza building.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8931\" style=\"width: 187px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8931\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8931 \" title=\"Marilyn Rose\" src=\"http:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/rose-2headshot-for-web.jpg\" alt=\"Marilyn Rose\" width=\"177\" height=\"238\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8931\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marilyn Rose<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cBrock has many, many exceptional graduate supervisors who deserve to be recognized,\u201d said Marilyn Rose, Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies and chair of the conference steering committee. \u201cWe are delighted to introduce this award as it will increase the awareness of the tremendous value that graduate supervisors bring to the graduate experience at Brock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGraduate supervisors are like coaches. They are dedicated to working alongside graduate students and putting them through their paces, so to speak, as partners in exciting research and scholarship activities. Graduate supervisors take students under their wings to inspire, encourage and support excellence and success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The award carries a $1,000 prize that will be given to the winner to assist with graduate mentorship. That funding will be put to many good uses, Rose said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsk any graduate supervisor about how best to spend this money and he or she will have a long list of good ideas,\u201d Rose said. \u201cSome examples include offsetting the cost of travelling to conferences or visiting labs to work with research colleagues, supporting the purchase of research equipment, supplies and specialized software, and helping students with other expenses involved in preparing posters for conferences and presentations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behind Brock\u2019s successful graduate students are exceptional graduate faculty supervisors.
