CHAMP Recognized With Two National Awards

In 2013, Mark Tomforde, associate professor of mathematics, started a volunteer-led math program, called Cougars and Houston Area Math Program, or CHAMP for short, based on a simple premise. If you equip students with problem-solving tools for math, this will set them up for success in education, as well as daily life.

In honor of its successes, CHAMP was recognized with two national awards: The American Mathematical Society ‘Mathematics Programs That Make a Difference Award,’ and a Phi Beta Kappa Arts and Sciences Award.
