Dr. Kathleen Buckwalter, PhD, RN, FAAN has been selected to receive the Distinguished Mentorship In Gerontology Award to be presented at the national meeting of the Gerontological Society of America on November 23 in Baltimore, MD.
The Distinguished Mentorship in Gerontology Award is given to individuals who have fostered excellence in, and had a major impact on, the field by virtue of their mentoring, and whose inspiration is sought by students and colleagues. The mentor must have had an influence on graduate, undergraduate, or professional students or junior colleagues, as evidenced by the number and accomplishments of his or her proteges. The nominee’s influence on the next generation of gerontologists also may be evident through training programs, research on and written materials associated with pedagogy (e.g., textbooks, articles), supervising research, or providing clinical training.
