Michael H. Veatch, Ph.D. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Mathematics and Computer Science Department Chair “The breadth of our faculty’s activities allows students to explore mathematics in combination with business, statistics, computer science or natural science, or simply study the underlying order of Creation. From writing projects in firstyear classes to summer research opportunities, you will be challenged to apply what you have learned.”

“I love being a part of the Mathematics Department at Gordon. Pretty much everyone knows each other, and the professors are always available to answer questions, for advising or to listen. The courses are challenging, but there is always support.” Lauren Meitzler ’11
