Undergraduate Awards

Each year, the Mathematics Department holds a luncheon to honor some of our outstanding undergraduates in mathematics. This past year's event was held on May 29 at the Faculty Club on campus. To make the ceremony more meaningful, each award was presented by a faculty member well familiar with the work of the winner, who was presented with a book (chosen by the faculty member) as well as a cash prize. In addition - in what is becoming a tradition - the members of our championship math modeling teams were honored. This past year's winners were:

  • Outstanding student in first year honors calculus: Nicholas Czajka
  • Outstanding student in second year honors calculus: Carey Cherng
  • Outstanding score on the Putnam Exam: Simon Pai
  • Gullicksen Award: Terri Moore and Casey Schneider-Mizell
  • Outstanding ACMS major: Ernie Esser
  • Outstanding B.A. Teacher Preparation major: Joe Trahan
  • Outstanding B.S. Standard major: Melissa King
  • Outstanding B.S. Comprehensive major: Sam Coskey and Jeff Giansiracusa
