UB's 15th Annual Celebration of Student Academic Excellence recognized five UB Mathematics students: Destiny Diaz, Michael Montoro, Julia V. Quebral, Anthony R. Taboni, and David Tallents. Our students are receiving various awards for outstanding work. The event began with the CURCA Poster Celebration, followed by the Awards Ceremony. The celebration, April 25, 2019, attracted a wide-range of UB community to the annual event to recognize the outstanding academic contributions of our students, faculty and research mentors.
