Longtime UFV math professor Susan Milner has been recognized by her peers.
She has been awarded the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Education Prize, which is awarded to a member of the PIMS community who has made a significant contribution to education in the mathematical sciences. This prize is intended to recognize individuals from the PIMS universities, or other educational institutions in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, who have played a major role in encouraging activities which have enhanced public awareness and appreciation of mathematics, as well as fostering communication among various groups and organizations concerned with mathematical training at all levels.
One outreach project that Susan has been involved in is bringing math mania nights to elementary schools. Math instructors and students from UFV volunteer their time for these events, which feature math games and activities.
Susan was also recently feted for reaching 25 years of service at UFV.
Congratulations, Susan!
