Faculty, staff, students, and the Brockport community are invited.
The SUNY Brockport community comes together annually to celebrate student success at the Honors and Awards Ceremony. This long-standing tradition recognizes academic excellence, honoring students for outstanding achievement.
Since 1982, the Honors and Awards Ceremony has recognized thousands of extraordinary students in all academic areas of the University.
Faculty Speaker
Dr. Ruhan Zhao
Dr. Ruhan Zhao is a distinguished professor of mathematics at SUNY Brockport and joined the University in 2005. He obtained his PhD in mathematics at the University of Joensuu (now the University of Eastern Finland) in 1996. Dr. Zhao has published over 70 peer-reviewed research papers in the fields of complex analysis and operator theory, making a vast impact in the field. He introduced the concept of Qp spaces with his coauthors and the concept of F(p,q,s) spaces by himself. Mathematicians around the world have widely studied both of these spaces. The subject of Qp spaces was so important that it was assigned a number in the Mathematics Subject Classification by the American Mathematical Society, which means that the study of Qp spaces has become a standard research direction in the international mathematical community. Dr. Zhao received the 2014 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities and was promoted as a SUNY Distinguished Professor this year.
