September 2009 Newsletter for Alumni and Friends
SAS Hall, the new home for the NC State University Mathematics and Statistics departments, received an Honor Award at the 2009 American Institute of Architecture South Atlantic Region conference held in Greenville, SC. Twenty projects were selected from over 200 entries submitted by AIA South Atlantic Region members. The South Atlantic Region includes North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Park Shops also received an Honor Award. The architectural firm PBC+L (Pearce, Brinkley, Cease and Lee) received a total of three Honor awards, the most of any firm in the region. Pictures and a news announcement can be found at http://www.pbclarchitecture.com. Thanks to Don Kranbuehl of PBC+L for providing this good news!
Assistant Professor Seth Sullivant has been awarded a prestigious Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. The announcement can be viewed here.
Professor Sullivant is one of 16 recipients of the 2009 Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering and the only mathematician receiving the award this year. Previous to this year, there have been only three Fellows selected from NC State and only 21 have ever been awarded in mathematics.
Packard Fellowships in Science and Engineering: In 1988, the David and Lucile
Packard Foundation established the Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering to allow the nation's most promising professors to pursue science and engineering research early in their careers with few funding restrictions and limited paperwork requirements. Every year, the Foundation invites the presidents of 50 universities to nominate two professors each from their institutions. Nominations are reviewed by an advisory panel of distinguished scientists and engineers. The panel then selects 16 Fellows to receive individual awards of $875,000, payable over five consecutive years.
