Faculty awards were presented at the annual fall convocation held on Sept. 30. The event honored the recipient of the 2003 Holy Cross Distinguished Teaching Award and the recipients of the Rev. Raymond J. Swords, S.J., Faculty Medal.

John B. Little III, a professor in the mathematics and computer science department, was this year’s distinguished teacher.

Little has been a member of the Holy Cross faculty since 1980. He received his bachelor of arts degree in mathematics from Haverford College in 1976 and his Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale University in 1980.

The Distinguished Teaching Award, which was established to recognize the dedicated faculty members at the College, carries with it a $1,000 honorarium.

The Rev. Raymond J. Swords, S.J., Faculty Medal, named after the 28th president of the College, was designed to honor members of the faculty who have served at Holy Cross for 25 years. Three members of the Holy Cross faculty were recognized this year: Patricia Bizzell of the English department; Thomas Cecil of the mathematics and computer science department; and Judy Chubb of the political science department.

Professor Little’s award lecture can be found at Road Signs.
