BDPA Member Receives Presidential Award

  

CLEMSON, SC - Clemson University School of Computing professor, Dr. Juan E. Gilbert, is one of nine people receiving the Presidential Award for Dr. Juan Gilbert Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring, the White House announced.    "Through their commitment to education and innovation, these individuals and organizations are playing a crucial role in the development of our 21st century workforce," President Barack Obama said. "Our nation owes them a debt of gratitude for helping ensure that America remains the global leader in science and engineering for years to come."

The award will be officially presented at the White House later this year. Read more ...     bt
