This unique honor to a single faculty member at the Institute represents the opinion of the students as which faculty member has had an especially positive impact on them while at Tech. The citation reads (in part),

The House voted you the winner for your outstanding teaching and bringing clarity to a very difficult course for many students, Linear Algebra. There was very high praise from many students regarding your passion to teach and meet students where they are at.

Congratulations to Chris for this well-deserved important distinction! We in the school greatly appreciate your efforts and are privileged to work beside you as you constantly help to advance the teaching mission of the school. Well done!

Chris Jankowski Wins Fulmer Prize 2025

The SoM is pleased to announce that Chris Jankowski is this year's recipient of the Fulmer award.

The Herman K. Fulmer Faculty Teaching Fund Endowment for the School of Mathematics was established by the late Howard Woodham (Georgia Tech alumnus, Engineering ’48), in memory of Professor Herman Fulmer, his former mathematics professor. Each year the Fulmer award recognizes one of our faculty who exhibit genuine regard for undergraduate students during the first few years of their Engineering studies at Georgia Tech.

Through his teaching of Math 1553, and in his coordinating role, Chris has stood out as a dedicated instructor that delivers masterful lectures, is always available to his students, and helps each student have a strong start in their undergraduate studies.

Congratulations Chris on this well-deserved award!
