Recently, the mathematics department and Pi Mu Epsilon, the mathematics honor society, hosted a career panel of distinguished mathematics alumni. The event was one in a series throughout the academic year celebrating the Golden Anniversary of Pi Mu Epsilon at Saint Peter\u2019s University. The panelists discussed their careers and how their Saint Peter\u2019s education was valuable to them. Presentations were given by Trustee Robert Goldstein, M.B.A. \u201960, \u201906, president of R J Goldstein & Associates; Lucy Sardella-Lawrence \u201982, senior system engineer at AT&T; Elba Roque Metrione \u201983, \u201994, mathematics teacher at Kearny High School; Hernan Medina \u201985, senior principal data scientist for Verisk Analytics; and Andrew Thompson \u201911, senior actuarial associate at Prudential Financial. Gerard Protomastro, Ph.D., professor of mathematics, moderated the event.<\/p>\n

The panelists were eager to share their career advice as well as reflect on the impact a Jesuit education had on their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthics and logic served me well,\u201d said Goldstein. \u201cOf course logic is connected to math, but ethics also comes into play at every aspect of your life; that\u2019s the value of a Jesuit education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent Inductees to Pi Mu Epsilon<\/p><\/div>\n

Sardella-Lawrence started working at AT&T after graduating from Saint Peter\u2019s. The benefit of working at a large company for so long was that she was able to try many different career options.<\/p>\n

\u201cMath was like mental gymnastics,\u201d she said. \u201cMy Jesuit education served me well because I was able to maintain my ability to be curious and to learn in order to make myself relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medina shared insider job resources and interview tips.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we look to hire, we look for concrete examples and experiences,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

The most recent graduate, Thompson, who was perhaps the most relevant to those in the audience who will soon be looking for jobs, gave an overview of what it means to be a successful actuary. He\u00a0discussed his daily tasks at Prudential Financial. Tips included taking some exams before applying for jobs, build a strong network and take the right courses at Saint Peter\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy chose this profession?\u201d he asked, \u201cBecause you\u2019re part fortune teller but you\u2019re also a highly valued employee.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the year long celebration of 50 years at Saint Peter\u2019s, Pi Mu Epsilon also hosted a talk with Farzan Nadim, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Brain and Neuroscience Research at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. His presentation, \u201cMembrane Potential Resonance in Neurons and Its Functional Consequences,\u201d illustrated an example of resonant properties in nerve cells (neurons). The talk dealt with mathematics embedded within a biological context.<\/p>\n

An induction ceremony and gala was also held to celebrate the honor society\u2019s 50th<\/sup> anniversary. The following students were inducted: Kushal Dalal ’18, Daniel Gosthall \u201920, Phong Hua ’19, Edgar Juarez ’19, Niara Smith ’19, Rebecca Conley, Ph.D., assistant mathematics professor, Robert Goldstein ’60, \u201906 and Mahmoud Hassan. Angela Luzardo ’18 was awarded the graduate Kruse Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
