Cohen Honors Faculty Mentor Award 2021

"Dr. Moriah Beck is a great instructor, mentor, and is always looking to be involved in the Honors College. Her work in FYRE has introduced numerous students to undergraduate research and opened future career pathways for them, and in her own lab she provides opportunities for students to learn and challenges them to apply for grants and other opportunities. She attends as many Honors College events as she can, and helped organize a bike ride last semester. In all of her activities, she is always looking to genuinely connect with students, and is open to providing guidance and mentorship to all."
