Proofreader for the book entitled "Frame and Bases: An Introductory Course", by Ole Christensen, Brikhaueser, 2008.

1. 2011 - 2014:Curriculum Committee,headed by Dr. Carolyn King – with the help of the other committee members I completed the following tasks: modifications of course MA-440 Precalculus assignments for the Pathways; rewriting the MA120 syllabus; approving a syllabus of ‘Algebra Warmups’

2. 2012 - 2013:College Algebra Review Committee,headed by Dr. Karan Puri– I worked on the syllabus of two new mathematics courses MA119 and MA121.

3. 2011:Final Grade Review Committee, headed by Dr. Dona Boccio (2011 – 2012) – I reviewed the final grade of a student who appealed to this committee.

4. 2011 - 2013:PDC - Professional Development Committee,With the permission of Dr. Mona Fabricant, I initiated the Professional Development Committee for the Mathematics and Computer Science Department in Fall 2011. I am currently heading this committee, and I hope that with the collaboration of the other members of the committee, we will make significant contributions to the professional development of the faculty of our department as a whole.

The goal of the Professional Development Committee,as directed by Dr. Fabricant, isto create an opportunityto integrate the new faculty into the department and the college by introducing them to the various resources available andto expose them to the recent exciting developmentsin the subfields ofmathematics education,mathematics,statisticsandcomputer science. This committee has two subcommittees as follows.

a. 2012 - present:Seminars and Colloquiums subcommittee:As a member of this subcommittee, I coordinate the colloquiums and seminar series. The colloquiums and seminarsare funded with a grant amount of $1000from the Academic Affairat Queensborough Community College.

The goal of this subcommitteeis to encourage and facilitate collaboration of the mathematics and computer science faculty on three levels:(1)disciplinary collaboration among the department,(2)interdisciplinary collaboration among the QCC faculties,(3)and collaboration with the mathematics faculty of other institutions, in particular the other CUNY colleges.

We also invite QCC students to our seminars and colloquia, which they often attend. For this reason, we always try to keep thetalksintroductory andaccessible to the students.

Outcomes of this subcommittee: With the help of the other members of the committee, we have succeeded in obtainingfifteen speakers during two semesters,Spring 2011 and Fall 2012, to present their research in mathematics, mathematics education, as well as to present the outcomes of their service learning techniques in mathematics courses. Two of these speakers were invited from outside QCC: Prof. B. Kalantari ofRutgers University; and Dr. C. Hanusa ofQueens College. We have already invited two more outside speakers for the coming semester.

b. 2012 - present:PDC - Website subcommittee:To attain the goals of the Professional Development Committee, I have created a homepage for the PDC under my own homepage. I update this page constantly by posting information to our faculty on(1)upcoming mathematics seminars and colloquiums at QCC, and at local institutions including the other CUNY colleges;(2)upcoming and recent professional events, such workshops and local, national, and international conferences in mathematics, mathematics education, and computer science;(3)names of faculty who have been awarded grants, scholarships, or prizes(4)faculty publications,(5)resources for awards, grants, and scholarships in math and math education,(6)mathematics and mathematics education journals, and(7)mathematics organizations including AMS-American Mathematical Societyand MAA-Mathematical Association of America.

We hope to develop the PDC website by posting more relevant information and resources that can meet the professional needs of current and future faculty.

• 2012 - 2013: Cooperative Education Coordinator for the MathematicsandComputer Science Department I worked closely with the Internship Coordinator and the Placement Advisor Ms Sussane Grossman and the director of The Office of Career Services Ms Constance Peluso. On part of my responsibility is to attract the QCC students for both paid and unpaid mathematics and computer science internship programs.

• 2011 - 2012: Students Activities Committee, headed by Dr. Ted Rosen.

With the suggestion of Dr. Rosen I contacted Dr Emily Tai to determine which committee(s) has (have) jurisdiction over the updating of the brochure entitled "Invest in Success: A Guide to Academic Support and Tutoring Service." I also co-organized the workshop on "The Value of Academic Competitions", presented by the Student Activities Committee, May 2012.

• 2011: (ASAP) Accelerated Study in Associate ProgramsExtension Steering Committee, November 2011 to December 2011, directed by Ms Barbara Brauer.

My responsibility in this committee was mainly centered on the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, such as (1) inquiring the department the number of ASAP math sections would be offered for incoming ASAP students in the summer and fall 2012 semesters (2) to attract the math faculty in teaching ASAP math sections, (3) and attract the math untenured faculty to become ASAP faculty mentors.

I have organized and presented the following workshops.

• 2012: I voluntarily organized two workshops on Oct. 31^st, 2012 and Nov. 7^th, 2012 for our computer science major students for the purpose of introducing and attracting them to an internship program. In these workshops I helped the students create their resumes online for both paid and unpaid internship programs. Several students who attended these workshops presented and submitted their resumes to the employers that were present in the internship forum on Nov. 14^th, 2012.

• 2012: I was a speaker at "Math Study Skill Workshop", co-presented by Dr. Mercedes Franco of Mathematics and Computer Science Department at QCC, and co-sponsored by CSTEP Club, Nov. 28, 2012.

• Invited Referee and Reviewer. I have refereed and reviewed papers and books in applied and pure mathematics for the following national and international journals. The invitation letters are provided for your review.
