 Distinguished Mentor Awards
The NCGE Distinguished Mentor Awards recognize faculty members in departments of geography whose guidance and influence is significant for students becoming geographers and teachers through their work as leaders of Alliances. Nominees should be senior faculty (i.e., 60 years of age or older) in active service or retired at a university in the United States or Canada. Two to four Distinguished Mentors are honored with special sessions at each NCGE annual meeting. Participants (usually three) in the special sessions honoring a Distinguished Mentor are selected from a list of former students provided by the honoree.

Paper topics focus on themes of interest to the Distinguished Mentor, and often include informal accounts of working with the honoree or reflections on his/her impact on students or the discipline. Nominators must specifically indicate why the person is being nominated and include brief, concrete examples of the nominee's outstanding achievements.
