Leilani Armstrong
T. K. Pan Scholarship
This award was established in 1995 by Dorothy and Eugene Wong in memory of their father, T. K. Pan, OU Emeritus Faculty and Professor of Mathematics (1953-1975).
"Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed math and excelled at it. It wasn't until taking AP calculus in high school that I realized I wanted to pursue further education in the field of mathematics.
"I had learned from a high school teacher that there is a profession called an actuary, where you can use mathematics to analyze risk in different companies. This intrigued me and is now what I aim to do with my mathematics degree.
"Of the classes I have had to take so far to complete my degree, I think I have most enjoyed the discrete math class that I am currently enrolled in."
