He makes every effort to push his trainees toward their personalized success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Case is known for his tireless pursuit of a personal mission to improve the scientific presentation skills of graduate students at UNMC. He annually offers a graduate course with the objective of developing the art and science of presentation skills across a variety of scenarios ranging from a poster presentation at a conference to a lay-public talk at the Omaha Public Library.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Mulder, president of the GSA, said, &#8220;Dr. Adam Case was selected as this year&#8217;s recipient of the GSA&#8217;s Distinguished Graduate Student Mentor Award in recognition of not only his mentoring skills but also his dedication and enthusiasm for graduate student training across the spectrum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe mentoring is the most important component of being faculty in academia,&#8221; Dr. Case said, &#8220;and it is also the most rewarding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"
