Dr. Ion Bica, associate professor of mathematics, has known since childhood that math was his calling. Now, he spends his time helping students to see the beauty and possibilities in math, and encouraging them to pursue their passion.
Ion's own passion for teaching and mentoring inspired his colleagues and students to nominate him for a 2019 Distinguished Teaching Award.
We talked to Ion about the steadfast nature of math, inspiring students and the importance of finding your path - even if it has nothing to do with math.
