Sometimes it can feel awkward to ask for recognition yet there are appropriate approaches to achieve success. In this session, panelists will review strategies to maximize your opportunities to be nominated for awards and honors. They will give recommendations on how to answer such questions as:

• Should I feel comfortable asking my chair?
• How do I ensure that the person writing my nomination letter knows enough about my work?
• What information is needed and appropriate to share with my nominator?

There will be time for your questions and panelists’ answers.

Marjolein van der Meulen, Associate Vice Provost for Research and Innovation; Swanson Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, and Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Jeff Niederdeppe, Senior Associate Dean of Faculty Development, Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy; and Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Communication
