Professor Receives National Math Award Professor Joel Brawley, who has taught mathematics at Clemson since 1965, has been honored with the nation's most prestigious college mathematics teaching award from the Mathematical Association of America, the 1999 Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching. The award includes a $1,000 prize and honors college teachers who have been widely recognized as extraordinarily successful and whose teaching effectiveness has been shown to have had influence beyond their own institutions. The award citation called Brawley the "epitome of what an ideal faculty member should be." "I feel very honored, deeply appreciative and extremely fortunate," said Brawley. "There are many excellent teachers who deserve the Haimo award, and my receiving it is the greatest honor of my teaching career -- something I will cherish all my life. Most of all, I feel very fortunate to be rewarded for doing something that I truly love doing," said Brawley. "Of all the things I do at Clemson, teaching and working with students is the most important ­ and is great fun." "Our students, faculty and alumni have long been aware of the high quality of Joel's teaching, and I am pleased that his peers from the Mathematical Association of America have also recognized his distinguished classroom efforts," said Thomas Keinath, dean of the College of Engineering and Science. "Joel and professors like him prove that the term 'national champion' is not limited to athletic excellence here at Clemson."
