Justin W. Jaworski
Promoter
Justin Jaworski received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and materials science from Duke University and has remained with that department to pursue a Ph.D. Nominators repeatedly share how Justin excels at guiding undergraduates through the transition to graduate study.
“Justin's maturity as a mentor shines when promoting students aspiring to academia. He has taken a vested interest in preparing Duke juniors and seniors for graduate school by assessing and discussing their goals, providing feedback on graduate school application essays, and connecting students to contacts at their top choice schools.”
“To make sure that I was fully aware of all my options and the potential problems that I might encounter, he has provided me with many useful books and links about applying to graduate school and the life that follows. In the past few months, he has helped me look at specific schools and faculty members with whom I might be interested in working.”
“Justin's contribution to helping me follow and achieve my aspirations has been invaluable. His knowledge, experience, and genuine willingness to help others obtain a better understanding of their work and personal goals have motivated me to nominate him for this honor. Justin's genuine good natured and thoughtful comments in the work environment serve as a model for the person that I want to be during my graduate years.
Justin's ability to help students pursue relevant and rewarding educational and professional paths and the connections he fosters within and beyond Duke have been valuable assets to the campus community.
