Dr. Perez-Felkner was recently nominated by students in her department for the Graduate Mentor Award at Florida State University (2018).

She won the 2016 FSU Hardee Center Supervisor/Mentor Award, nominated by her students.

She is even more thrilled that her students are winning awards and recognition, from Samantha Nix’s NaEd/Spencer Fellowship and P.E.O. Scholar Award, Taylor Locks’ TWO NASPA awards – Florida (2015) & Region III (2016), and Melissa Magalhaes’ Center for Khmer Studies Junior Fellowship!
