Professor Hyeouk Hahm Receives UROP Outstanding Mentor Award

Boston University School of Social Work Professor Hyeouk Hahm was honored by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) for her mentorship during the summer of 2015. Hahm was nominated for the award by student Jongwook Cha, who is studying Human Physiology at BU’s Sargent College and said, “Working with Professor Hahm made me feel that my efforts were part of a larger, greater whole despite only being a research student. I attribute my success and productivity to her constant attempts to plug me in to her team and system.” UROP presented Hahm with the Outstanding Mentor Award at the 18^th annual 2015 UROP Symposium on Friday, October 16 at 1:00pm in the Metcalf Ballroom of the George Sherman Union.

“This research mentor award means more than any big research grant to me. As an educator, working with my students side by side, seeing them grow, and witnessing them making contribution to the field has been the most wonderful thing to me. I am so grateful for this,” Hahm said.
