Monique Chyba won the 2023 MAA Golden Section’s Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics Award. The award was presented at the 2023 Golden Section Meeting held at Santa Rosa Junior College, on February 25, 2023.
Since joining the faculty at Mānoa in 2002, Dr. Monique Chyba’s classroom instruction, place-based pedagogy, student mentoring,
and community outreach initiatives have impressed her students and colleagues.
“She not only shines individually through her clear and engaging style but also has worked to make substantive changes in the teaching infrastructure at the University of Hawai‘i. Her teaching often extends beyond the classroom through community engagement…(and) in using placebased knowledge to reform the quantitative reasoning curriculum.” — A colleague of Prof. Chyba
