BYU Math Department professors #1 in US Fulbright awards
 
Wayne Barrett & Michael Dorff Gregory Conner
According to the Institute of International Education,
during the last eight years the BYU Mathematics Department
has received more Fulbright Awards than any other Mathematics
department in the nation. In the past three years, only
18 Fulbright Scholars were selected from within the field
of mathematics, and of these, three were awarded to BYU
Mathematics professors. Wayne Barrett, Michael Dorff,
and Gregory Conner were selected as Fulbright scholars
from 2005-2008. Their receipt of this award places them
among the elite scholars of the 20th and 21st centuries,
including more than 30 Nobel laureates.
Supported by the United States State Department, the Fulbright
program customarily selects eight hundred top scholars and teachers from all disciplines around the nation to teach and research in other countries. Among the former grant recipients are 34 Nobel laureates including Riccardo Giaconni, Bengt Samuelsson, John Steinbeck, Milton Friedman, and Henry Kissinger. Other Fulbright alumni include Ruth J. Simmons, president of Brown University, graphic designer Milton Glaser, and poet Sylvia Plath.
From the thousands of universities, and hundreds of thousands of faculty nationwide, the Department of State selected these three professors from BYU to receive the Fulbright Award. This choice illustrates the quality of teaching, depth of knowledge, and future potential of these outstanding faculty at BYU.
