Julia Pevtsova is the 2018 recipient of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences Education Prize. The prize is awarded each year to a member of the PIMS community who has made a significant contribution to education in the mathematical sciences, recognizing individuals “who have played a major role in encouraging activities which have enhanced public awareness and appreciation of mathematics, as well as fostering communication among various groups and organizations concerned with mathematical training at all levels.” This description fits Julia to a tee, given her diverse contributions to mathematics education and outreach in our region.
