Minority Student Recruitment and Mentoring<\/strong><\/p>\n

Active recruitment and mentoring of minority students is an important component of teaching and education. With an increasing percentage of the US population of minority background, it is important to encourage, recruit and mentor minority students. As a result, I have made it a priority to recruit and develop minority students (refer to CV for details).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
