Criminal Justice Professor Receives Faculty Mentor Award
During the Graduate Student Celebration - Winter 2020, presented by The Graduate School in collaboration with the Graduate Student Association, Dr. Naoki Kanaboshi was honored with the Faculty Mentor Award.
This award serves to acknowledge faculty who exemplify a deep
commitment to fostering the professional and personal development of
graduate students. This includes encouraging the development of
individual talent through advising graduate level research, promoting
professional development opportunities beyond the classroom, and
providing successful transition from graduate studies to individual careers.
Malu writes: “In addition to performing his job at an exemplary
level, Dr. Kanaboshi demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to the
university and all his students. Dr. Kanaboshi excels as a teacher
who links theory to practice and provides relevant real-world
examples of how the course material relates to current events. In
our graduate course, Dr. Kanaboshi consistently used case-studies to
provide us with an opportunity to explore what we were covering in
class. He established a positive classroom climate, and taught us
the skills necessary to voice, listen to, and understand each
other’s points of view.
Dr. Kanaboshi has demonstrated extraordinary commitment and
effectiveness as a mentor, with persistent effort to provide
meaningful assistance and mentorship to his students. I will always
appreciate how Dr. Kanaboshi’s mentorship allowed me to follow my
passion in teaching. Because of his support, I will be starting my
PhD next fall where I expect to serve as a mentor to others.”
