Prof. Merenkov's MIT-PRIMES student Michael Iofin from Trinity School in New York was awarded the Gold Medal in Mathematics as well as the Grand Prize at the 2025 S.T. Yau High School Science Award competition held at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China on December 6-7. MIT-PRIMES, where Prof. Merenkov is a mentor since 2014, is a program for research in mathematics, engineering and science for high school students, organized by MIT. In order to qualify for the Beijing Final, Michael Iofin competed in the North America Yau event held at Columbia University last November, and also received the Gold Medal there. The Yau High School Science Award is established in honor of Prof. Shing-Tung Yau, a Fields Medalist, having done research in differential geometry at IAS, Stanford, UCSD, and Harvard before returning to China after retiring. To win the Grand Prize, Michael successfully competed with Gold Medalists from the other five participating divisions: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Economics and Financial Modeling. Michael's winning project is titled "Quasiconformal Normalization of Random Meromorphic Functions", and it was suggested and mentored by Prof. Merenkov.

The CCNY Open House in The Great Hall on October 25th welcomed prospective students and their families. Dr. Matt Auth and Cheikhna Diagana from the Department of Mathematics welcomed students and answered questions about studying mathematics at CCNY. They and faculty from other departments in the Division of Science worked to foster interest and enthusiasm in mathematics and science.

Students interested in the department included high school students from the CCNY STEM institute who study math on Saturday mornings with CCNY Math Lecturer, David John.

The Paper has a featured story on the Artino Mathematics Tutoring Center: More than Numbers: A Look Into the Artino Mathematics Tutoring Center at CCNY.

The article discusses the evolution and impact of the Artino Mathematics Tutoring Center (AMTC) at The City College of New York (CCNY), detailing its transformation from informal Saturday sessions led by David John into an official, seven-day-a-week resource. It highlights the center's growth, which now includes scheduled virtual and in-person appointments via the Navigate app, and its commitment to fostering a community-based learning environment to help students overcome "math phobia." The AMTC offers various services, including the specialized AMTC+ program for students repeating classes, and is continuously seeking to expand support for students.
