ROCHESTER--Are you familiar with an area high school graduate of the last two decades who is particularly successful in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM)? Anyone who knows alums from the Rochester region since 1991 with notable accomplishments in these fields is encouraged to nominate them for a new award.
The Rochester Area Math Science Partnership (RAMSP) is launching an annual “Outstanding STEM Alum” awards program and announced that it welcomes submissions from the general public. The Partnership, which began in 1991, includes thirteen K-12 school districts, three higher education institutions, Mayo Clinic, IBM, and Workforce Development, Inc. In recent years RAMSP has been known for helping to bring Mobile Science Labs to area schools and for professional development forums for math and science teachers.
RAMSP won’t assign Outstanding STEM Alum nominees to specific categories, but Executive Director Rich Bogovich noted that they hope to present at least one award to a graduate who overcame adversity during his or her K-12 years, similar to the focus of the RCTC Foundation’s “Beat the Odds” Scholarship program. Because school districts constitute more than half of its members, RAMSP will also be watching for nominees who have served as grade school teachers.
For its first award cycle RAMSP has a simple nomination process. Nominators should submit a cover letter that presents an overview of the alum’s STEM-related achievements and attach that graduate’s résumé or the equivalent. RAMSP recommends supplementing the nomination with two to five letters of endorsement from individuals other than the nominator.
Nominations can be sent by mail or e-mail. The deadline for receiving them is Thursday, November 1. Submissions can be mailed to RAMSP at P.O. Box 6202, Rochester, 55903 or e-mailed to Richard.Bogovich@roch.edu. Questions can be directed to Bogovich at (507) 250-2611.
The awards will be presented at the annual RAMSP banquet in mid-December, during which the partnership will also present its longstanding Outstanding Educator awards to teachers from partnership districts. The RAMSP districts are Byron, Chatfield, Dover-Eyota, Hayfield, Kasson-Mantorville, Kingsland, Pine Island, Plainview-Elgin-Millville, Rochester Public and Catholic, Stewartville, Triton, and Zumbrota-Mazeppa.
Additional information about RAMSP is available at www.ramsp.org.
