This award was introduced in Spring, 2010, following the death of Margaret Catherine Oxley at the age of thirty-six. Margaret was the daughter of James and Judith Oxley and older sister of David. James has been a member of the Mathematics Department since 1982. This award is given each spring to a mathematics major who is graduating that calendar year with a concentration in mathematics education. The award is based on teaching ability. The award carries a cash stipend of $1,000 and was endowed by Judith and James in 2010 with the help of contributions from faculty and friends.
