Individual Award

科学、数学和工程指导优秀总统奖（PAESMEM）旨在表彰杰出的指导工作或项目，这些工作或项目提高了历史上代表性不足的群体在科学、数学和工程领域的参与。新奥尔良南方大学（SUNO）科学学院院长乔·奥莫约拉（Joe Omojola）在校园和海湾地区都得到了很好的认可，多年前，他致力于指导和指导学生。他在发展本科生和研究生作为少数民族参与路易斯斯托克斯联盟（LSAMP）和其他计划的一部分取得了成功。在过去的十年里，他帮助领导了SUNO的数学和物理项目，并一直是新奥尔良地区公立学校系统的积极力量。在卡特里娜飓风造成的破坏之后，他一直在寻求在地区小学建立导师支持。考虑到基础设施受损的程度、混乱的治理体系、持续的混乱和风暴造成的损失，他正在努力填补新奥尔良剩余公民面临的太多关键空白之一。

The Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) recognizes outstanding mentoring efforts or programs that enhance the participation of historically underrepresented groups in science, mathematics, and engineering.Joe Omojola, dean at the College of Science at Southern University of New Orleans (SUNO) is well-recognized on campus and in the Gulf area, having committed himself to the instruction and mentoring of students many years ago. He has had success in developing both undergraduate and graduate students as a part of the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) and other programs. He has helped lead SUNO's math and physics program over the last decade, and has been a positive force in the New Orleans area public school system. Following the disruption brought about by Hurricane Katrina, he has been seeking to build mentor support at area elementary schools. Given the depth of infrastructural damage, tangled governance systems, continuing chaos and losses caused by the storm, he is moving ahead to fill one of the all-too-many critical voids that confront the remaining citizens of New Orleans.
