We Need your support!

As we continuously work to improve the quality of our programs, one of our goals is to increase the amount of money available for departmental student activities and support. This year the mathematics faculty donated $7,000 to a newly-created faculty scholarship fund; the first recipients of faculty scholarships are listed on page 14.

Annual alumni contributions, no matter what the amount, are vital to our efforts to support students. We thank those of you who have contributed to the department in the past and hope you will continue your support. If you havenšt yet had an opportunity to help us, please consider designating future gifts to the Mathematics Department.
