Mentoring Medal
The SAAL Mentoring Medal was created in 2015 to recognise outstanding academics for their inspirational mentorship of their former supervisees. Recipients of the SAAL Mentoring Medal must be nominated by their former supervisees. As proof of their mentor’s lasting influence, the nominator must show evidence of producing research and scholarship in the same field of study as their mentor, and display promise of becoming a leading scholar in the field. Nominators should be past or present SAAL members, and both nominator and nominee must be past or present Singapore-based academics.
