Meaningful mentorship: KBS faculty, staff members recognized as excellent mentors

KBS faculty member Nick Haddad and research assistant Kevin Kahmark each were recognized for excellence in the area of mentoring.

Haddad (left) won a 2023 MSU College of Natural Science Junior Faculty Mentoring Award. That award recognizes one recipient annually who demonstrates outstanding mentorship by successfully guiding junior faculty members successfully through their academic career paths.

Kahmark (right) was chosen for the inaugural mentorship award from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center. The new award honors GLBRC members who prioritize the spirit of mentorship and who strive to promote the success and development of those around them.

Mentorship is central to the KBS experience, and we’re proud to see those efforts by both faculty and academic staff honored. Congratulations again to Nick and Kevin.
