C|M|LAW Professor and Associate Dean Heidi Gorovitz Robertson was recognized on Friday, April 26, as the 2013 Mentor of the Year at the TRIO McNair Scholars Banquet. The McNair Scholars Program prepares undergraduate students for graduate studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair participants are either first-generation college students with financial need, or members of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate education. Each McNair student is assigned one mentor within their academic discipline and one from outside the discipline. Professor Robertson has been working with a CSU undergraduate student in environmental science for the past two years as her ‘outside of discipline’ mentor.

Congratulations, Heidi on being selected as McNair Mentor of the Year. It takes a special person with a lot of talent and patience and you are that person. Best wishes, Alan
