Honorees Annually – 2011 through 2015
Beginning with the first award in April 2005, the McDonald Mentoring Award program is designed to celebrate annually those who have enduringly engaged minds, elevated spirits, and stimulated best efforts. It also aspires to help spread the virtues of excellent mentoring and advising in the engineering and applied sciences community.
The program recognizes diverse professionals in engineering and the applied sciences who, as exemplary mentors and advisors, have significantly and consistently supported the personal and professional development of others.
Aside from simply learning more about each of these outstanding individuals, there are many reasons to contact our honorees. You may wish to add your own congratulations! You may want to renew a former acquaintance. Or, you may want to learn more and become a better mentor or advisor yourself.
A sincere effort is made to keep this information, including contacts, up to date. However, the individual's or institutions' own web sites and directory listings should also prove helpful.
Affiliations and titles are listed as at the time of each award. Websites are the most recent known.
