Harter Family Mentoring Prize
Inaugurated in 2020, the Harter Family Mentoring Prize recognizes faculty members whose commitments to their students’ intellectual and creative development goes beyond the classroom. Standing members of the Harpur faculty who have demonstrated substantial involvement with undergraduate students by encouraging research, facilitating scholarly inquiry, providing academic or career advising, and/or stimulating creative endeavors are eligible. Each student is asked to submit only one nomination for the faculty mentor whom they wish to support. Faculty members may also nominate peers they feel excel in student mentoring.
Nominations will be reviewed by a group of team members in the Harpur College Dean's Office. Tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty may be nominated. The selected faculty member will be recognized with an award at the Harpur College Faculty Recognition Ceremony, held in May 2026.
Please submit this form by 11:59pm on Monday, May 4. Questions about the Harter Family Mentoring Prize for Harpur College Faculty may be sent to harpuredge@binghamton.edu.
