Mathematics Department Marks Semester Transition with December Luncheon

On December 11, the Baylor University Department of Mathematics hosted its annual luncheon marking the close of the fall semester. Held just days before final exams, the event brought together faculty, staff, students, retirees, and guests in an informal setting.

Rather than a formal program, the luncheon emphasized conversation and connection, providing space to reflect on the semester’s work and to look ahead to the conclusion of the academic year. Brief remarks and creative contributions added a personal element to the afternoon.

The department also recognized Blanca Radillo-Murguia and Rafael Morales as the 2025 recipients of the Lance Littlejohn Scholarship for Graduate Research in Mathematics.

The end‑of‑semester luncheon continues to serve as a meaningful transition point—one that recognizes the effort of the past months while offering a shared moment before the demands of finals and winter break.
