 was named the recipient of the Kenneth B. Cummins Endowed Professorship in Mathematics. This new endowed role honors her contributions to mathematics as well as her commitment to supporting teachers, students, and schools across Northeast Ohio. The professorship continues the legacy of the late Kenneth B. Cummins, whose work in mathematics education left a lasting impact on the field.

The NSF-funded Math REU program is back! We will host an REU program in the summers of 2026–28. Each summer, nine students will spend eight weeks at KSU working on research problems under the direction of our faculty.

Congratulations to Bev Reed, a recipient of �Ը�������’s 2025 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Outstanding Faculty Award for Student Success! This award recognizes her deep commitment to teaching and mentoring, and her belief that all students can succeed in mathematics. As Bev puts it, “I hope my students leave my classroom with a firm belief that they CAN do mathematics, with an understanding of WHY we do mathematics, and a realization that with an inquisitive mind, a good work ethic and a sense of play, that the world of mathematics can be theirs.”
