BACKGROUND
As indicated on the MAA awards page,The James R.C. Leitzel Lecture was established by the Board of Governors in 1998. It provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of "issues or innovations in mathematical sciences education at the undergraduate or graduate level," and, in so doing, honors the many contributions of James R.C. Leitzel to the improvement of mathematical sciences education. |
FUND
RAISINGThe fundraising effort to endow the Leitzel Lecture raised well in excess of $40,000, and involved significantly more than 400 donors. A partial list of donors (accurate only to the end of the funding campaign, February 1999) is available. |
