PDP 2020
The Application is Now Open for the 2020 Professional Development Program
The program prepares graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and professionals to be effective, inclusive educators, while simultaneously impacting hundreds of undergraduates.
The PDP includes two intensives (the Inquiry Institute and the Design Institute) and a practical teaching experience carried out in small teams.
Presidential Award for Mentoring
ISEE has received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM). The award, established by the White House in 1995, honors people and programs that have demonstrated excellence in mentoring individuals from groups that are underrepresented in STEM.
ISEE received the award for its work developing a local science and engineering workforce for observatories on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea and Haleakala summits. ISEE's Akamai Internship Program offers intensive training in problem solving and communications skills that are highly valued by employers.
