“The
 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and 
Engineering, awarded by the White House to individuals and 
organizations, recognizes the crucial role that mentoring plays in the 
academic and personal development of students studying science and 
engineering – particularly those who belong to groups that are 
underrepresented in these fields. By offering their expertise and 
encouragement, mentors help prepare the next generation of scientists 
and engineers while ensuring that tomorrow’s innovators reflect and 
benefit from the diverse talent of the United States.”
