M. Gregory Forest Receives 2024 Thomas Jefferson Award for Exemplary Scholarship and Service

The Department of Mathematics is proud to announce that Prof. M. Gregory Forest, Grant Dahlstrom Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Computational and Industrial Applied Mathematics (CCIAM), has been named the recipient of the 2024 Thomas Jefferson Award by the Office of Faculty Governance.

Established in 1961, the Thomas Jefferson Award recognizes individuals who, through their personal influence and excellence in teaching, writing, and scholarship, have most closely embodied the ideals and objectives of Thomas Jefferson. These ideals include the values of democracy, public service, and the pursuit of knowledge, all of which Prof. Forest has consistently demonstrated in his academic and professional endeavors.

Prof. Forest will be presented with the award at the December 13th joint meeting of the General Faculty and Faculty Council, where the university will celebrate this well-deserved recognition.

Please join us in congratulating him on this outstanding achievement. His contributions to the Department of Mathematics, CCIAM, and the academic community exemplify the highest standards of scholarship and service.
