NYSMATYC Awards

One of the NYSMATYC's important services is to recognize and acknowledge exceptional professional dedication by individuals in the New York State two-year college mathematics community. In 1971, it was decided that awards be given in the following areas:

    1.    Outstanding Contributions to Mathematics Education at the National Level
    2.    Outstanding Contributions to Mathematics Education at the State Level
    3.    Outstanding Contributions to NYSMATYC

In 1972, the national as well as state award for distinguished contributions to two-year college mathematics was given. The Executive Board decided thereafter to recognize only individuals at the state level. In 1974, the Executive Board decided to have the state and NYSMATYC awards combined into a single award "for outstanding contributions to the field of two-year college mathematics." This practice was continued until the early 1980's when the NYSMATYC award was reinstituted. It should be noted that individuals who have served as NYSMATYC officers are eligible for the service award for contributions made to NYSMATYC beyond their service as an officer.
