Mentorship Awards
Dr. Cole Bennett
“Dr. Bennett pushes me and his other students hard because he knows and believes in what we can achieve. Yet, at the same time, he makes us feel seen and more than just the papers we produce. Dr. Bennett is the ACU Difference encapsulated.”

Dr. Neal Coates
“Dr. Coates goes above and beyond to make sure he is well educated on my research so that he can help to the best of his ability.”

“Dr. Head truly and deeply cared about each and every one of us. He is kind. Above all else, he is never too busy to help us with problems and answer questions.”
