Colleagues,

Please forward this to your faculty - I'm sure we have some potential
winners at UA. Full info at
http://www.aaas.org/aboutaaas/awards/mentor/index.shtml .

The two categories of the AAAS Mentor Awards (Lifetime Mentor Award and
Mentor Award) both honor individuals who during their careers demonstrate
extraordinary leadership to increase the participation of underrepresented
groups in science and engineering fields and careers. These groups include:
women of all racial or ethnic groups; African American, Native American, and
Hispanic men; and people with disabilities.

Both awards recognize an individual who has mentored and guided significant
numbers of students from underrepresented groups to the completion of
doctoral studies or who has impacted the climate of a department, college,
or institution to significantly increase the diversity of students pursuing
and completing doctoral studies. It is important to indicate in the
nomination materials how the nominee's work resulted in departmental and/or
institutional change in terms of the granting of PhDs to underrepresented
students. This can be documented not only with quantitative data, but may
also be demonstrated through the student and colleague letters of support.

Deadline is 31 July.
