March, 2000

At the January, 2000, Joint Mathematics Meetings in Washington, DC, the Association for Women in Mathematics announced that Sarah Dean is a runner up for the Tenth Annual Alice T. Shafer Price to an outstanding young woman mathematician. Here is the AWM's announcement.

Sarah E. Dean is a senior mathematics major at Duke University. She is a recipient of the prestigious Barry W. Goldwater Scholarship and participated in the Director's Summer Program at the National Security Agency during the summer of 1998. Her mentor at NSA describes her as "one of the top two performers in this fantastically talented group of 22."

Her professors at Duke say that she "has taken nearly all the advanced undergraduate and most first and second year graduate courses at Duke" and is "one of the best undergraduates we have had at Duke University."

Congratulations to Sarah!
