ExxonMobil and Phil Mickelson Announce Partnership

Exxon Mobil Corporation and PGA TOUR star Phil Mickelson announced a new partnership that will include participation in select ExxonMobil corporate communications activities. Mickelson and his wife Amy will work with ExxonMobil to develop new and innovative programs to improve science and math education in elementary schools.

Mickelson and ExxonMobil will work together to launch innovative programs to help elementary school teachers improve their instruction in math and science and thereby increase student interest and achievement in these disciplines. The programs will offer advanced training in science and mathematics instruction for elementary school teachers chosen from the communities around the country where Mickelson will be playing tournaments.

The partnership with the Mickelsons furthers ExxonMobil's long tradition of seeking to improve student achievement in science, mathematics and technology. By continually improving the methods by which teachers are trained, ExxonMobil can impact the science and math education students receive -- and as a result, their future employment prospects.
