Lydia Bright (2021)
2021: Lydia Bright (Biology)
Lydia Bright is the 2021 Mentor of the Year. Lydia has maintained one of the most vibrant research labs in the Biology department, her chair noted, and has provided a research home to a diverse group of students whose interests span the full breadth of biology. In addition to co-authoring several papers or presentations with her students, she has built their knowledge and technical skills in ways that have translated into future graduate school admissions or jobs in biological fields. For these reasons, her student nominators wrote, “On behalf of the current and past members of the Bright Lab, we insist that the superior mentorship which Dr. Bright has provided to us must not go unrecognized.”
