Yong-Zhuo Chen, Pitt–Bradford professor of mathematics, was presented the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, Scholarship and Service during Honors Convocation on April 19.
“In 30 years at Pitt-Bradford, Dr. Chen has consistently performed admirably,” said Lawrence Feick, interim president of Pitt-Bradford, who presented the award. “Students routinely give him strong assessments of his teaching, despite his teaching rigorous and technical classes. On top of that, he is a prolific scholar, advancing the frontiers of mathematics.”
Stephen Hardin, vice president and dean of academic affairs, nominated Chen for the honor.
“Because of his unimposing nature, I believe that Dr. Chen does not always get the recognition and attention that he rightly deserves,” Hardin wrote. “Dr. Chen truly is excellent in all three areas of responsibility as a faculty member — teaching, scholarship and service.”
