The Gordon Lecture Series features David Kung

A professor of mathematics at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, David Kung has helped to create programs that attract and retain underrepresented students. He co-founded the Emerging Scholars Program in mathematics at SMCM, helped expand it to other departments, helped other institutions start similar programs that work with historically-underserved populations, and runs the Emerging Scholars Program REU, an NSF-funded summer research program for talented underrepresented math students. He serves as the Director of Project NExT, a national professional development program for new faculty in mathematics.
