Crystal S. Conn, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology, is the recipient of the 2024 Michael P. Nusbaum Graduate Student Mentoring Award. The Nusbaum Award was established in 2017 to honor Mikey Nusbaum as he stepped down from his role of BGS Director. Mentors embody the skills, experience, and wisdom essential to success in science; they serve as models for how one conducts his or her life in balance with a demanding career; and certain faculty – such as Mikey – play pivotal roles in guiding students in reaching their scholarly potential. All BGS faculty are eligible for this award, which recognizes excellence in graduate (PhD) mentoring. Dr. Crystal Conn has made substantial contributions to mentoring that have made a great impact on their students since they have been at Penn. Dr. Conn’s dedication to being a role model for training advocacy, inclusivity, and mentoring students to reach their scholarly potential exemplifies the type of scientist and mentor that Mikey Nusbaum represents Learn more about Dr. Conn
