At The University of New Mexico, undergraduate students engage with world-class researchers to develop innovative new knowledge and solve important societal challenges. In keeping with this important mission, UNM’s Office of the Vice President for Research and the Undergraduate Research, Arts & Design Network collaborated to celebrate these amazing partnerships through the new Faculty-Mentored Undergraduate Research Award that recognizes exceptional examples of faculty research mentorship and student professional development.
The inaugural winners of the 2022 Faculty-Mentored Undergraduate Research Award include Research Assistant Professor Achraf Noureddine and biochemistry BA/MD student Lien T. Tang. Together, Noureddine and Tang demonstrate UNM’s tenet “research IS education” by fostering a culture of diverse research participation, advancing UNM students into successful futures, and increasing capacity for research that impacts society.
