NYSAMS Hall of Fame

NEW YORK STATE

MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS HALL OF FAME

Sponsored by NYSAMS

NEW --> NYSAMS is accepting 2021 Hall of Fame nominations until October 1, 2021. Due to the complexities of the pandemic and gradual reopening requirements, NYSAMS will postpone the induction ceremony until November 2022. The next NYS Mathematics Educators Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be in Rochester, NY in November 2022. The 2021 and 2022 Inductees will be honored with an in-person event at that time.

The New York State Mathematics Educators Hall of Fame Inductions will be postponed for 2021 due to COVID-19 concerns. We are currently accepting 2021 nomination forms until October 1, 2021. We will be accepting the 2022 nominations at a later date (until February 1, 2022). We look forward to reviewing the nomination applications and determining the 2021 and 2022 inductees who will be invited to the induction ceremony in Rochester, NY in November 2022. In the mean time, NYSAMS congratulates our current Hall of Fame members. We wish everyone the best and that all remain safe and healthy!
