Catching Up with AMS Congressional Fellows

Since 2005, the AMS has sponsored 19 mathematicians via the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) Science and Technology Policy Fellowships program to work in Congress. Of the 19 Fellows, 13 served in the offices of US senators, while others worked for members of the House of Representatives, for the House Science Committee, and the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. AMS writer Elaine Beebe spoke with three past fellows to learn how the program helped advance their careers. See https://www.ams.org/news?news_id=7225.

Twelve Students Receive 2023 AMS Undergraduate Opportunity Awards

Twelve students received 2023 AMS Undergraduate Opportunity Awards—financial assistance designed to support students who lack adequate financial resources and who may be in danger of not completing their mathematics degree program for financial reasons. The annual awards go to students chosen at colleges and universities randomly selected from the AMS’s institutional members.

Eleven of this year’s awardees received Waldemar J. Trjitzinsky Memorial Awards, named in honor of the mathematician:

Colin Brennan, Northwestern University;

Marianna Gabriele, East Tennessee State University;

Paul Gongwer, Purdue University Fort Wayne;

Mia Grella, Southern Connecticut State University;

Frances Grout, University of San Francisco;

Noah Haley, University of North Carolina Asheville;

Jillian Marasco, Washington State University;

Jeffrey Nubla, University of Nevada, Reno;

Wandy Saint-Phard, University of Massachusetts Boston;

Suzanne (Suzy) Smith, Trinity University;

Nasir Wynruit, Tufts University.

In addition, the Edmund Landau Award, named in honor of the mathematician, was presented to Megan Vitale, Florida Institute of Technology.
