Professor Mneimneh has been a long time supporter for undergraduate research at Hunter College and a main contributor to the Hunter College-MIT outreach. He also ran two REUs in 2024 (through a collaboration with Baruch College) and 2025 (funded by MAA-NSF). His proposal to AMS emphasized the role of undergraduate students, making this award a continuation of his effort in funding the participation of undergraduate students in faculty research.
