Each year, the GradFUTURES Clio Hall Awards are presented by the Graduate School's professional development team to faculty, staff, graduate alumni, and graduate students in recognition of significant contributions to the professional development of Princeton graduate students. A committee reviews nominations submitted from across campus, and the award is presented each year at the GradFUTURES Forum.
To submit a nomination, please use this form: https://gradfutures.princeton.edu/clio-award-nomination-submission-form.
If you have questions, please email gradfutures@princeton.edu.
The name for the Graduate School’s GradFUTURES Clio Hall Award is based on “Clio Hall”, which is a landmark building at the University, built more than 125 years ago (1893), and is the home of the Graduate School’s administrative offices. Clio Hall originally housed the “Cliosophic Society”, the oldest college debating club in the US, and that led to the adoption of the name “Clio Hall”. More information about this landmark building. can be found here.
The award itself is a miniature replica of Clio Hall, a Greek-revival style building. The Clio Hall Award--a 3D printed replica of Clio Hall, home of the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School--has been produced with the generous support of the Council on Science and Technology. Awardees also receive a personalized gift courtesy of Princeton University Press.

Rodney Priestley is the dean of the graduate school at Princeton University and the Pomeroy and Betty Perry Smith Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering. He is a leading researcher in the area of complex materials and processing, and served as Princeton University's inaugural vice dean for innovation from 2020-22. The vice dean for innovation provides academic leadership for innovation and entrepreneurship activities across campus.
Priestley has published nearly 100 articles, edited a book, and is co-inventor on four patent-pending technologies in the area of drug-delivery and polymer colloids, substances that make up gels and emulsions. His research group is focused on understanding how materials that undergo changes in their properties and join together when confined in tiny spaces open new possibilities for a vast range of novel applications, including drug delivery, designer colloids and sustainable manufacturing. Priestley is engaged in three industry-university research collaborations in the areas of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as well as polymer nanocomposite design, and is the co-founder of two companies that are working to translate University intellectual property into technologies or products.
