Cheryl Schrader, dean of the College of Engineering at Boise State University, is one of 11 recipients nationwide of the 2005 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring.

She received the national award at recent ceremonies at the White House executive office complex in Washington, D.C. The award, supported and administered by the National Science Foundation, includes a $10,000 grant for continued mentoring work.

Schrader was honored at a White House ceremony last week for her efforts to encourage women and other underrepresented groups to pursue and excel at careers in engineering.
