Dr. Gogarten has been selected as one of this year’s recipients of the faculty Mentorship Excellence Award, in recognition of his outstanding mentorship of undergraduate researchers. He was selected from a very strong group of nominees by a committee of Peer Research Ambassadors in the Office of Undergraduate Research. The undergraduate mentee who nominated him cited his "extraordinary commitment to challenging and supporting them, which transformed their undergraduate experience, fostered their graduate school aspirations, and allowed them to achieve things they never thought possible."  Awards will be presented at the Fall Frontiers in Undergraduate Research Poster Exhibition.
