Every year, the state university and numerous academic and professional organizations honor hundreds of UUP members for outstanding accomplishments in their disciplines, on campus and in their communities. The Voice is pleased to recognize some of these members:

• Joseph Bowman Jr., an associate professor in the department of educational theory and practice and the director of the Center for Urban Youth and Technology at UAlbany, was recently re-elected as an at-large member of the New York State Board of Regents representing Judicial District III, which covers Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster counties. He was first elected in 2004.

• Daniel Gagliardi, an assistant professor of mathematics at SUNY Canton, co-wrote Introduction to Linear Algebra with Applications with James DeFranza, a professor of mathematics, computer science and statistics at St. Lawrence University. The book, published by McGraw Hill, adopts a student-oriented, conversational writing style and integrated real-world applications.
