Now in its 20th year, the Provost’s Award for Excellence in Doctoral Mentoring recognizes outstanding mentors who substantially impact University of Pittsburgh students seeking research doctorate degrees.
The honor, presented annually by the Office of the Provost to up to four faculty members, includes a $2,500 prize.
One member of the Dietrich School was named an awardee:
Nastasia Mauger, a postdoctoral researcher in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, has been awarded the 2024 Ada Lovelace Award from the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE). The award is given annually to a female scientist who makes an outstanding contribution to high-performance computing and who serves as a role model for women at the start of their scientific careers.
Lise Vesterlund, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Economics in Pitt’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, will receive an honorary doctorate from Copenhagen Business School.
Vesterlund is a co-author of the critically acclaimed book “The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work.”
The annual award “honors the region's most impactful businesswomen who are helping to lead their organizations into the future, making significant change in the region and getting involved in their communities.”
This year’s winners will be recognized in a special edition of the magazine on May 16 and during a ceremony at Acrisure Stadium on May 21.
Associate Professor and Writing Program Director Angie Cruz has been named the 43rd Dos Passos Prize winner. Longwood University gives this award annually to an American writer who explores both form and range of voice. Cruz will be honored this spring at Longwood in a ceremony that will be open to the public.
Sixteen University of Pittsburgh faculty members earned the 2025 Chancellor’s Distinguished Awards across three categories. The awards honor outstanding individuals whose scholarly commitments and contributions in research, teaching or public service have advanced the Pitt community or their respective fields.
The Dietrich School would like to congratulate our inaugural Dean’s Achievement Awardees, thank you for all of your hard work!
