Graduates Honored with Mathematics Distinguished Service Award

The Mathematics Department awarded the 2025 Mathematics Distinguished Service Award to three graduates. This award has been established to recognize students who, through their service, have made outstanding contributions to the department, their fellow students, and the University as a whole. This year's recipients are Andrew Woo-jong Lee and Alexandria Stavrianidi.

Andrew is an undergraduate student who has served as a Math Peer Advisor for the past two years, providing helpful guidance to current and prospective majors. He was also the President for SUMO, the Stanford University Mathematical Organization, a by-students-for-students math club on campus.

Alexandra is being recognized for her many contributions to the department and university during her time in the PhD program. She has been on the board of the student group SWIMM, Stanford Women in Math Mentoring, and has also served as a mentor to undergraduate students in the program. She has also mentored undergraduate students as part of the Directed Reading Program. She organized the department’s TA mentoring program for two years, as well as mentoring many first-time TAs herself. We thank Alexandra for her dedication to teaching and learning in the department and university.

The two students were recognized and celebrated at the Mathematics Commencement ceremony on Sunday, June 15, 2024.
