Individual Nomination for Dr. Steven F. Watkins for the Presidential Award in Mentoring

HRD 04-29651 DR.史蒂文·F·沃特金斯(Steven F.Watkins)参与了路易斯安那州立大学(Louisiana State University)的项目，众所周知，路易斯安那州立大学培养的非裔美国人化学博士人数比美国其他任何一所大学都多。非洲裔美国人的毕业生人数在十年间从3人增加到11人，现在每年都维持在这一水平。毕业率的成功只是史蒂文·F·沃特金斯博士在其中发挥了不可或缺的作用的几项同等质量的成就之一。提交的提名方案是为了支持总统科学、数学和工程卓越导师奖(PAESMEM)，以表彰杰出的导师努力或计划，这些努力或计划加强了从K-12年级到研究生院级别的科学、数学和工程方面历史上代表性不足的群体的参与。

HRD 04-29651Dr. Steven F. Watkins is involved with programs at Louisiana State University known to produce the largest number of African-American doctorates in chemistry than any other university in the country. The number of African American graduates increased from 3 to 11 over a ten-year period and now is sustained annually at that level. The success achieved in graduation rate is but one of several accomplishments of comparable quality in which Dr. Steven F. Watkins has played an indispensable role. The submitted nomination package is in support of a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) to recognize outstanding mentoring efforts or programs that enhance the participation of historically underrepresented groups in science, mathematics, and engineering at K-12 grades through the graduate school level.
