Good Job

. Edward Burger, professor of mathematics, has been named Gaudino Scholar at Williams College. Robert Gaudino, a professor of political science at Williams College from 1955 to 1974, was devoted to the idea that to truly learn, students must take the risks inherent in a search for truth and confront uncomfortable ideas and situations. Soon after Gaudino's death, former students created a fund in support of a Gaudino Scholar, a Williams faculty member who is expected to promote experiences for students to confront differences and learn through contrasts. Burger is the recipient of numerous honors, including the 2007 Award of Excellence from Technology & Learning magazine, the 2007 Distinguished Achievement of The Association of Educational Publishers, the 2006 Lester R. Ford Award of the Mathematical Association of America and the 2001 Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College Teaching of Mathematics from the Mathematical Association of America.
