Dr. Edward O. and Arline Stephany Award

This fund was established by Professor Emeritus Edward Stephany and Mrs. Arline Stephany, along with their colleagues, to honor Dr. Stephany on his retirement from Brockport. The name of the award was updated in Fall 2019 to recognize Arline’s 100th birthday. The award recognizes an outstanding student in the Department of Mathematics.

In 1947, Dr. Stephany joined the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at the College at Brockport, where he taught for the next 33 years. He served as Chair of the department for 29 of those years. He served as president of the Faculty Council in 1965-66, and he was named a Professor Emeritus when he retired in 1980. Dr. Stephany passed away in September 2006.
