Mentoring Students
Boyd Professor Isiah Warner received the 1997 Presidential Award for
Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. Largely
through Warner's mentoring and recruitment efforts, LSU has become a leader
in training African American doctoral candidates in chemistry. Nearly
30 percent of the Department of Chemistry's
doctoral students are African American, the highest percentage of any
major chemistry department in the country. LSU expects to account for
about half the nation's annual production of African American Ph.D.s in
chemistry through the early years of the 21st century. In addition to
his research in analytical chemistry, Warner is also vice chancellor of
the Office of Strategic Initiatives,
a new unit whose mission is to enhance LSU's diversity (especially at
the graduate and faculty level) and to support the high achievements of
all LSU students, faculty, and staff through education, mentoring, and
research.
