The UCI School of Education awarded Assistant Professor Brandy Gatlin-Nash and Professor Rossella Santagata Faculty Mentorship Awards for Inclusive Excellence. The award recognizes selected faculty for their mentorship and their significant impact in supporting the success of underrepresented minorities (URM) in the School’s academic programs and research mission.
“Brandy and Rossella are fantastic mentors and colleagues,” said Professor Elizbeth Peña, associate dean of faculty development and diversity. “They exemplify what it is to be a mentor– working with both undergraduate and graduate students to support their growth and intellectual curiosity. For students from URM backgrounds and first-generation students who may not have the generational knowledge, Brandy and Rossella work to make what is often a hidden curriculum less obscure. I am thrilled that their efforts are being recognized.”
