Ben Southworth, second year graduate student, has received an esteemed three-year fellowship from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in order to pursue a doctoral degree in an area of DoD interest. The fellowships are awarded to graduate students of science and engineering that have shown special aptitude for advanced training in their field. Each year only 200 fellowships are granted, and the selection process is highly competitive. The fellowship includes full payment of tuition and all mandatory fees for a school of the recipient's choosing, a monthly stipend, and medical insurance.

Jeffrey Gay, mechanical engineering major and applied math minor, won the 2015 Telemark National Championship for ski racing. This year the National Championship took place at Sunlight Mountain Resort on Sunday, March 15th. Gay grew up skiing with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club based out of the local Steamboat ski area, Howelsen Hill. He attributes much of his success in balancing his high level of ski racing with an engineering course-load to that of the Engineering Honors Program in Andrews Hall. Gay, heading into his fifth year at CU Â鶹ӰԺ, began and will finish his CU career within the program. He attended the Championship proudly wearing an Applied Math Department hat and shirt, thus blending two of his high achievements together.

On March 30, 2015 former CU Professor Emeritus John Alexander Williamson passed away at age eighty-two. After obtaining his Ph.D in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota and instructing at Cornell University, Williamson accepted a position with CU Â鶹ӰԺ in 1967 and remained until his retirement in 2005. His academic work focused on probability, statistics, and mathematical biology. His many achievements include Best Paper Award from the International Genetic Epidemiology Society and high ratings from students throughout his many years teaching. The Applied Mathematics Department and Williamson's family hope to create a scholarship in the professor's name in the near future.
