                      Thursday, November 14, 2002

  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Professor David Pagni 
from California State University, Fullerton. David, a math professor 
from Cal State Fullerton received a grant in the amount of $6.5 million 
from the National Science Foundation. It is the largest grant ever 
awarded to a Cal State faculty member.
  David will be using the funds from this grant to head a team of 
professors and teaching coaches to show teachers how to teach advanced 
math at Orange County high schools and their middle school counterparts 
over the next 5 years. The hope is that better math instruction in 
middle school will better prepare students for advanced math classes in 
high school.
  I am very proud of David for his achievement and dedication.
