The call for the Distinguished Graduate Mentoring Award (DGMA) was issued in early January. Twenty-four nominations were received in February, from which four finalists were selected. Up to two recipients will be chosen at our May 21^st meeting.

The recipients for both awards will be announced at the June 10, 2003 Representative Assembly meeting.
