Message from the Department Head

---

Welcome to the Department of Mathematics

It is my goal to create a department that is thriving with good teachers, good researchers, and good students, all working together for the benefit of all.  I expect our faculty to be actively involved in helping students succeed in our classes and our majors.  My office staff and I make every effort to be actively helpful to the entire university community.  If we can be of any assistance to you, then please feel free to contact us using the information from our office's "Contact Us" page, or from the Directory tab at the top of the page.

I am in my 29th year at WKU as a faculty member, and previously completed 8-and-a-half years in the Dean's Office of Ogden College of Science and Engineering as an Assistant and later Associate Dean.  You can find more information on my research and interests at the following links:
