Len and Marilyn Asimow Mathematics Scholarship

Len Asimow is a professor emeritus at the University of Wyoming in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Len is credential actuary, having also served on the faculty at UCLA and Robert Morris University. Len, Marilyn, and their family moved to Laramie in 1973 where originally Len was slated to take a one-year faculty appointment. They stayed in Laramie for 23 years where they became a fixture in the Department of Mathematics and the Jewish community in southeast Wyoming. Marilyn graduated from the University of Wyoming with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and master’s degree in Counseling and also served many years as an elementary school counselor in the Albany County School District. In establishing this endowed scholarship, they seek to award those students whose academic achievement in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics merit recognition.
