Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM)

HRD 03-26177 DR.Chellu Chetty是一位生物学教授，在为本科生和研究生服务方面有很好的记录，特别是“高能力少数族裔”学生(通常是非裔美国人)。他制定了一些策略，让学生参与并挑战他们在学术和职业发展方面的追求。多年来，他一直是一名积极的导师，并投入了大量时间和精力与代表性不足的社区合作。在他指导和指导学生的许多方法中，有一种是他直接让本科生参与撰写15篇以上的专业论文。他曾与HBCU合作，在从政府和非政府资金来源获得赠款方面一直非常有效。切蒂博士计划利用PAESMEM赠款，如果获奖，将支持为科学与技术学院建立一个指导和咨询办公室。

HRD 03-26177Dr. Chellu Chetty, a professor of biology, has a strong record of service in working with students at the undergraduate and graduate level, particularly the "high ability minority" students (generally African-American). He has developed strategies that involve and challenge students in their academic and career development pursuits. He has been an active mentor for a number of years and has invested much time and energy to working with underrepresented communities. Among his many approaches to mentoring and advising students is his direct involvement of undergraduate students in co-authoring more than 15 professional papers. He has worked with HBCU's and has been very effective in obtaining grants from both government and non-government funding sources. Dr. Chetty plans to utilize the PAESMEM grant, if awarded, to support the establishment of a mentoring and advising office for the College of Sciences and Technology.
