Mathematical Sciences Departmental Awards

June 14, 2016

Assistant Professor Svetlana Poznanovikj has been awarded the Department of Mathematical Sciences Teaching Award for 2015-2016. As one of her former students writes, “Dr. Poznanovikj is the kind of instructor and mentor that pushes you to be a better student.” Professor Poznanovikj is well-know with her students for providing “high expectations for her students, but provid[ing] them with all of the possible resources for them to succeed” and for creating “an environment that foster[s] questions.” One student writes:

This class was the first time I transitioned from learning math for the sake of a good grade to exploring math due to genuine curiosity. This new outlook was in large part due to Dr. Poznanovijk’s teaching…. As I sat and listened to her explanations of the theorems, my mind was blown by the ideas and my interest in mathematics was increased by the minute. We could all tell that Dr. Poznanovijk was truly passionate about the topics she covered and our understanding of them.
