| Dr. Liu recieves Faculty Excellence Award in Research |
DOVER, Del. - Delaware State University presented its 2004 Employee of the Year and Faculty of the Year awards during its annual Employee Luncheon on May 13. The following awards were presented:
Faculty Excellence Award in Teaching - Dr. Michael A. Reiter , associate professor of agriculture and natural resources. Believing in setting high standards for students and giving them the tools to reach them, Dr. Reiter has revised curricula for environmental science undergraduate majors and minors, as well as contribute revisions for undergraduate fisheries and wildlife majors. He has also designed the Master of Science Program in Natural Resources as well as obtained over $1 million in teaching/research grants.
Faculty Excellence Award in Research - Dr. Fengshan Liu , professor of mathematics. He has been instrumental in the creation of the DSU Applied Mathematics Research Center, of which he is director. He is the principal grant writer on five research grants, including a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense that funded the establishment of a multidisciplinary foundation and led to the development of the institution's first-ever doctoral program - Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.
Faculty Excellence Award in Service - Dr. Donald A. Parks , professor of visual arts and director of the DSU Arts Center/Gallery. He has been engaged in a broad array of activities that have enhanced public's understanding and appreciation of the arts as well as bring an eclectic body of exhibits to the DSU gallery that have enriched the community.

| DSU Board of Trustees OK on the First-ever Ph.D. Program |
DOVER, Del. - The Delaware State University Board of Trustees will vote on the establishment of an Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics Ph.D programs during their regular board meeting that will begin at 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12.
If approved, the doctoral degree program will be first-ever offered at DSU. The program will offer two doctoral concentrations; 1.) a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics, and 2.) a Ph.D in Mathematical Physics.
DSU President Allen L. Sessoms said the new doctoral program would be a development of historic significance. "This is one large step in what we expect to be many in transforming DSU into the first choice among Delaware's institutions of high education as well as an strong academic option for those outside of the state," Dr. Sessoms said.
Dr. Tommy Fredericks, dean of the DSU College of Arts and Science, said the two doctoral concentrations are just a beginning within that degree program. "We are already developing other Mathematics-related concentrations to further expand this Ph.D program in the future," he said.

| DSU Signs Partnerships in China |
DOVER, Del. - The Delaware State University recently expanded its
international relationships with the signing of memoranda of understanding with two Chinese universities that will result in faculty and student exchanges, as well as research collaborations.
University President Allen L. Sessoms, along with Dr. John Graham, assistant vice president of the Office of International Affairs, and several other DSU representatives returned recently from China after having signed two five-year partnership agreements with the Hefei University of Technology and Jilin University.
Jilin has the largest student population - 63,000 - of any university in China, and has more than 400 degree programs, including 105 doctoral programs. Hefei's main emphasis is to train talented students for scientific research.
Also representing DSU on the China trip were Dr. Tommy Frederick, dean of the College of Mathematics, Natural Science, and Technology; Dr. Doris Wooledge, acting dean of the College of Education and Sports Sciences; and Dr. Fengshan Liu, director of the DSU Applied Mathematics Research Center.
The agreement facilitates student and faculty exchange, joint master and doctoral programs, and collaboration on research projects. Initially, the partnership will focus on the DSU doctoral program in Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.
With the ink hardly dry on the partnership, plans were set in motion for the first Chinese student to come to DSU to enter the doctoral program. Chao Yu, a student from Jilin University, will be enrolled at DSU in the Fall Semester 2004.
The student/faculty exchanges are made possible by the same Department of Defense Grant that funded the creation of the Applied Mathematics Research Center. Dr. Liu, principal investigator of the grant, said that two Chinese faculty scientists also plan to come to DSU in the Fall 2004.
"In 2005, possibly as early as the summer, we will send a DSU faculty member and a study-abroad student to China," Dr. Liu said.
He said in addition to the agreements with the two universities, the delegation met with other education officials and universities to explore other partnership opportunities, including future possibilities with the Beijing Language and Cultural University.
DSU also has formal partnerships with Mexico, Panama, Namibia, Senegal, and France.
