Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring
Outstanding STEM mentors and mentoring programs, particularly those that work with individuals who are historically underrepresented in these fields (such as women, minorities, and people with disabilities), are recognized annually through Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM). In addition to Presidential recognition, PAESMEM recipients receive a $10,000 honorary award and a trip to Washington D.C. to participate in recognition events, meetings with policy leaders, and professional development workshops.
Recognize a mentor or mentoring program today by submitting a nomination. U.S.-based organizations, companies, and U.S. citizens and permanent residents from the academic, government, non-profit, and private sector are all welcome to apply. Nominees must demonstrate (1) At least five years of outstanding mentoring to a significant number of people who may not otherwise have participated in STEM fields and (2) Mentoring of students at the K-graduate level or early career scientists, mathematicians, or engineers who have completed their degrees within the past 3 years.
DEADLINE: OCTOBER 5th, 2011

Understanding Gender Equity Issues in STEM Education:
Online professional development course from NH e-Learning for Educators
The NH e-Learning for Educators Project and the STEM Equity Pipeline Project have developed an online professional development course to inform teachers and administrators about issues of gender equity in STEM and about ways to increase the opportunities for girls and women in STEM programs.
Using resources from the STEM Equity Pipeline Project, participants will explore the issues surrounding equitable academic opportunities for girls and women in the STEM areas, become familiar with processes to build, support, and sustain the involvement of girls and women in STEM courses and career pathways, and design a plan for improving gender equity throughout their schools, districts, or SAUs.
This 7-week online course (BP16) will run from October 5th through November 22, 2011. Registration is $130.00. Register before September 20 and save $10! An optional three graduate credits can be earned for the course for an additional $520 tuition fee.
