Willie Lee Bryant, Jr., math instructor at Williamsburg Technical College, was recently named president of the South Carolina Association of Mathematics at Two-Year Colleges (SOCAMATYC).
The organization is a non-profit education association to encourage the development of effective mathematics programs.
It also provides opportunities for math professionals to have a state forum for the interchange of ideas, to further develop and improve the mathematics education, to promote the professional welfare and development of its members, to keep abreast of new trends in mathematics, to promote communication among teachers and administrators, and to promote involvement in the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC).
In addition, Bryant was recently named as a finalist for the Governor’s “Professor of the Year” Award. Each year, the Governor’s office and the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education jointly sponsor two Governor’s Professor of the Year Awards, one conferred upon a faculty member at a senior college or university and the other conferred upon a faculty member at a two-year institution of higher learning.
Each faculty member recognized as a Governor’s Professor of the Year receives a formal citation presented during a ceremony hosted by the Governor’s office. In addition, the winners and the institutional nominees are recognized at a luncheon. The selection committee will meet in February to select the winner of the award.
Bryant, a Lake City resident who has taught full-time at WTC since 2007, received his certification in general studies at Williamsburg Technical College, his bachelor’s degree in math education at South Carolina State University, his master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Idaho, Engineering Outreach, and his education specialist degree from Nova Southeastern University.
He is a lifetime member of the South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the South Carolina Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, and the South Carolina Technical Education Association.
