Kendall S. Carpenter Advising Award

In recognition of the importance of undergraduate advising and to honor his own extraordinary advisor, a professor of business management at Cornell from 1954 until his untimely death at the age of 50 in 1967, Stephen Ashley, A&S ’62, Johnson School ’64, and member of the Board of Trustees, has established the Kendall S. Carpenter Memorial Advising Awards.

The Carpenter Award recognizes the sustained and distinguished contributions of professorial faculty and senior lecturers to undergraduate advising, and nominations are solicited annually from all members of the academic community. Nominees must be active contributors to college teaching and to their scholarly field, as appropriate to their appointments, and not have previously won the award.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education oversees the nomination and selection process.

The 2024 Call for Nominations letter explains the nomination process; nomination form/packets are due to the faculty member’s college associate dean by the end of November each Fall semester.
