The URECA Faculty Award For Excellence in Mentorship in Research and Creative Work recognizes two faculty members who engage Wake Forest undergraduates outside the classroom and inspire, guide and support the students’ intellectual and creative endeavors. This year’s winners are Errin Fulp, professor of computer science and Lisa Blee, associate professor of history.
During his 19 years in the department, Fulp has mentored 16 students in honors or summer fellowship projects. One student described Fulp as “generous with both his time and expertise and, throughout our collaboration, he selflessly and publicly acknowledged my contributions whenever possible.”
