the nominee needs to have been mentored by a CEPCEB faculty member. If you have multiple candidates for one award from your lab, it is fine to submit multiple nominations. </span></span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

since most undergrads are mentored by a graduate student, postdoc or staff member), (3) independence of the student, and (4) any other information that might guide the award committee's decision-making process. If the student has been an author on a manuscript,
