Endowment for Research in Mathematics


In October 2011, Ray Hefferlin initiated a deferred endowment for research in Mathematics to be funded through his estate. Ray wanted to ensure that funds were available for faculty or students conducting mathematics research. While a professor at ÃÛÌÒav, Ray often brought students alongside him in research and included them in his published papers. When he established the criteria for this endowment, he maintained that passion, specifically including that distributions from this endowment could help defray research expenses for faculty and students working together.

When the funds for this endowment were released from his estate, Ray's daughter Heidi remarked that her father, "dedicated his life to sharing his knowledge and love of learning with his students through the classroom and research." This endowment furthers Ray's passion and assures that his legacy lives on in the lives of faculty and students who are committed to education and research of the world around them.

This endowment is accepting additional funds in honor of Ray Hefferlin. It will begin awarding to Mathematic research projects with faculty and students when it is fully funded.
