The Langerbeck Award for Undergraduate Research Mentoring has been established to recognize and reward the exceptional work of Loyola’s faculty mentors who are contributing significant time and effort to the intellectual, ethical, and academic development of Loyola’s undergraduate researchers by mentoring their research endeavors.
Each year, LUROP will grant two awards, selected from a pool of student nominations. Faculty selected for the award will receive $2,000, through sponsorship from the Office of the Provost and the Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy. The award is meant to support the mentors' research and support of undergraduates.
Applications for 2019–2020 will be reviewed by a committee of LUROP fellowship directors and previous faculty mentor award winners. Langerbeck winners will be announced at the reception following the 2020 Undergraduate Research & Engagement Symposium on Saturday, April 18th.
