A team of Rowan College at Burlington County (RCBC) students was the top team from a two-year college at the 13th Annual New Jersey Undergraduate Mathematics Competition (NJUMC) held last month at William Paterson University.
The team of Ryan Bernstein, Scott Harman and David Lundquist earned distinction as the “Best Team from a Two-Year School” and placed 11th overall ahead of several four-year institutions from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Individually, Harman placed 13th overall out of 95 students and was tied for the top ranked individual from a two-year college.
RCBC students Bryan Bugyi, Israel Jackson, Kardigue Konte, Edward Minnix III and Kediel Morales also participated in the competition.
“I am very proud of the accomplishments of the students who competed in this competition,” Rowan College at Burlington County President Paul Drayton said. “Our faculty and students can perform high-level mathematics just as well, if not better, than their peers from four-year institutions. This is another example of high-achieving students excelling at RCBC.”
The NJUMC has two parts, an individual and a team portion. Participants register as teams of up to three students. This year there were 23 registered teams from four-year institutions and nine registered teams from two-year institutions.
