Congratulations to the 2008-09 recipients: Nadine Kaslow and Sheryl Heron, and Karen Stolley and Vialla Hartfield-Mendez. They are being recognized for their success in leadership in the context of a mentoring relationship at Emory. We honor pairs rather than individuals in order to pay tribute to the process of mentoring and to acknowledge the critical roles both mentor and mentee play.
