The UROP Outstanding Mentor Award recognizes CU Boulder faculty members for their role mentoring current undergraduates working on research, scholarly and creative projects in any major. Dr. Gruber was nominated by student mentees Elizabeth Hoelscher and Montana Ploe; Dr. Montoya was nominated by student mentee Mariana Galvez Seminario.
These outstanding mentors were selected from numerous student nominations speaking to the transformative value of mentorship with CU Boulder’s world-class faculty.
