Bogdan Suceavă recently visited the town in southern Romania where he grew up and the grammar school where he studied math.  he was encouraged to pursue mathematics as a promising career he won a prize at the Romanian National Mathematical Olympiad where it crossed my mind for the first time that I could study mathematics,” said Suceavă Cal State Fullerton professor of mathematics earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from the University of Bucharest and a doctorate from Michigan State University he was awarded the Medal of Honor by the Romanian Society of Mathematical Sciences.  Suceavă is an internationally recognized mathematician cherished collaborator and dedicated mentor to his students For his prolific contributions to mathematics and scholarly accomplishments Suceavă was selected as the recipient of the university’s 2023 L Donald Shields Excellence in Scholarship and Creativity Award “I am very grateful to the Cal State Fullerton academic community for recognizing the values I stand for and to the intellectual environment at Cal State Fullerton for making my career possible,” Suceavă said encouraged and understood all the way — in all the moments of my career.” The award is presented to a faculty member in recognition of “outstanding scholarship and/or creative work that is demonstrated through a variety of activities.” The award’s namesake served from 1970-80 as the university’s second president Suceavă since he joined the faculty in 2002 I was involved in the hiring process and recall how much potential he had to do great things for the department and its students — particularly in scholarly and creative work,” said Alfonso Agnew “He has far exceeded my wildest expectations and he has managed to be humble throughout by always seeking to involve and elevate his students and colleagues as part of his efforts.” As a researcher in pure mathematics, particularly his expertise in differential geometry and the foundations of geometry, Suceavă has produced 82 highly cited mathematics articles in top-tier Euclidean geometry and the history of mathematics I can assure you that this rate of publication in high-impact journals is incredible,” said Scott Annin professor of mathematics and the university’s 2015 Outstanding Professor “Pure mathematics generally does not get produced that quickly Suceavă is able to manage it in an environment that demands much in the areas of teaching and service Many of Suceavă’s articles are co-authored with his students after extensive training outside the classroom he earned the Outstanding Contributions to Student Success award from the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.  Suceavă spends a tremendous amount of time nurturing and mentoring students and then makes sure that they have the maximum number of opportunities to present their work,” Dean Marie Johnson noted “The quality of work that has been produced is extremely impressive.” Beyond his extensive scholarship in mathematics, Suceavă is an award-winning writer and is highly respected in the literary community both in Europe and the United States He is the author of 19 literary volumes in Romanian Suceavă has earned several literary awards including the Romanian Literary Fund Fiction Award and Association of Bucharest Writers Fiction Award and is invited to speak at literary festivals in New York Over a decade ago, Suceavă founded the Fullerton Mathematical Circle that brings highly gifted young mathematicians — middle school and high school students — to campus on Saturday mornings to improve their problem-solving abilities and participate in math competitions More than 300 students from Orange County and the region have been involved with the enrichment program facilitated by CSUF math students interested in teaching careers The award recognized the department’s “excellent record of mentoring and graduating students from underrepresented groups.”  “I am very happy that our CSUF brand will forever stand proud on that list of winners next to UC Berkeley and MIT for the work we do and for what we represent,” he said.  In spring 2020, Suceavă’s scholarship with fellow faculty members Adam Glesser and Matthew Rathbun and former student Isabel Serrano was recognized with the national George Pólya Award from the Mathematical Association of America The committee noted: “This paper is truly a jewel.” Other notable accolades include three essays, co-authored with his peers and former students, published in 2016, 2018 and 2021 in the high-status Princeton University Press anthology on Best Writings on Mathematics.   In 2018, the manuscript “A Medieval Mystery: Nicole Oresme’s Concept of Curvitas,” co-authored with Serrano appeared in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.  mathematics-applied) shared that Suceava was her first mentor to demonstrate how innovation and powerful insights arise from interdisciplinary research.  Suceava has left an undeniable impact on how I think about science,” said Serrano a doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley in computational biology “As the first in my family to pursue a career in research Suceava’s exposure to conferences and mathematical research was critical in discovering my passion for science.” Outstanding Professor Is a Champion for Students With Special Needs Outstanding

Lungu for providing the outdoor venue for our display We’re here today for the opening of our exhibition which honors over a quarter of a century of the U.S.-Romania Strategic Partnership To say that we in Embassy Bucharest are proud of this exhibit would be an understatement The exhibit has toured throughout Romania this display is a celebration of the good things and the great accomplishments that our bilateral partnership brings our people This exhibit is structured on the pillars of the Strategic Partnership itself and the diplomatic The title and the panels celebrate the human element the people-to-people bridges that link us all We the People – the venerated first words of the preamble to our Constitution – sets the tone for our most cherished document We felt this title captures the sentiment of the foundation upon which all of our collaboration is based – the people of Romania and the United States working together to further our shared interests and values The reference to the Constitution also reminds us of liberty and other values that Romanians and Americans hold dear – values that our partnership and our Alliance seek to preserve and expand This is especially relevant in these times when the world faces the gravest threat to these values since World War II In turbulent times people tend to most appreciate the blessings of freedom and democracy I am saddened when I think about the atrocities committed against Ukrainians through Russia’s violent aggression –people forced from their homes Russia’s war against Ukraine is a violent manifestation of Putin’s disregard for the international order based on rule of law premised on international cooperation It is all the more important now to highlight and celebrate what we can achieve working together to build a safer We do that by supporting essential principles: protecting and honoring human rights while ensuring collective liberty enforcing the rule of law and caring for those most vulnerable And so I am moved and inspired by the example Romanians set for us all by generously supporting their neighbors I would like to take this opportunity to thank all in this community who helped others in need and commend the local leaders here for the extraordinary outpouring of support for Ukraine and Ukrainians I also commend the work of the Romanian government and the people of Romania in responding to this refugee crisis We are excited about the Sister Cities program with Lansing which speaks volumes about Suceava’s commitment to promoting peace and supporting community development Bucovina is a land of cultural treasures and long kept traditions and has so many values all of us can learn from This agreement bears mute testimony to the pledges of our Strategic

of the 90-year-old Archbishop Pimen Suceveanul ‘Notorious corruption’ and ‘Destruction of last virgin forests’ News articles about Romanian forests and their management are dominated by headlines like these or with a likewise tendency But we were wondering: Is that really the only thing we should know about Romanian forests Or are there also examples of good and sustainable forest management – as well as protection of primary forests?  As the Wageningen University & Research team of the SUPERB Project which aims at upscaling forest restoration we were eager to explore Romanian forests and to get in touch with its foresters Although we heard the stories of the impressive untouched forests After our SUPERB conference in Sibiu ended we headed north-east to Suceava for an introduction to the last remnants of Europe’s primeval forest but also curious about regular forest management in the productive spruce and beech stands of the Suceava district The journey from Sibiu to Suceava was an adventure on itself: zigzagging between horse drawn hay carts and putting our rental car and our driving skills to the test on unpaved forest roads Unscathed and in awe of the Transylvanian landscape we arrived at our hotel in a suburb of Suceava as we all knew we had a great hike scheduled for tomorrow The next morning appeared to be a beautiful hiking day and we were excited to meet the famous forest professors couple Laura and Olivier Bouriaud we went off to pick up a local forester from ROMSILVA as seventh companion He is an active forest manager in the Suceava forest district and knows his way through the vast Carpathian forests when we realised how essential it was to be guided around by someone with the knowledge and skills for wandering around Around 40% of Romanian forests are FSC-certified which means that wood is harvested in a sustainable manner in these areas respecting wildlife and other ecosystem services We visited a recently thinned certified forest stand with imposing spruce trees on fertile calcareous soils Gaps that were created earlier by selective thinning or smaller clear-cuts were quickly claimed by regeneration from primarily spruce but also gave way to species like Paris quadrifolia which is in decline in Europe due to loss of habitat and might soon be on red lists What we saw in this forest stand very much contrasted with the harsh media stories the volume of removed wood and the exact planning We walked through the stand discussing the measures and the related communication to stakeholders The other side of the spectrum – and of our exploration of Romanian forests – was formed by our visit to the Codrul Secular Slătioara Forest Reserve This reserve is under strict protection but is still open for visitors to enjoy the tranquillity of the ancient forest and admire the rugged landscape stretching over 600 hectares with trees exceeding 50 meters of height but the slippery rocks and steep slope made for a spectacular hike not without risks We pulled each other upwards and managed to get on top of the canyon There we rested on the remains of a large beech tree looking down on the trail and wondering how we were supposed to get back After a few minutes we were urged to get back on our feet and follow our guide as he still had some unique viewpoints that he wanted to show us clutching the stems and branches from large beech trees for support we reached a ridge that pointed out above the canopy Here we had a great and rather humbling view on the surrounding forest area and the outskirts of the Slatioara town After this highlight and catching our breath The first few meters were so steep that we agreed to slide down from a seated position until we were able to stand up again and walk carefully over the old trail We descended to the creek running through the reserve where we washed our hands and drank some ice-cold water Laura and Olivier took us to their home for a fantastic BBQ after which we returned to our hotel for a well-deserved rest we were invited to give a lecture about our work and projects on the Ştefan cel Mare University of Suceava Silke presented the SUPERB project to an enthusiastic group of students from the forestry department Gert-Jan backed that up with a lecture on his IPCC work while Sara and Bas spoke about their projects related to climate smart forestry

consumerism and individualism the hierarchs of our Church have watched over the preservation and increase of the liturgical and Philokalic life.’ ‘Although the times were often unfavourable to them by establishing theological and monastic schools or by establishing printing houses and publishing books which played a decisive role in preserving the ancestral faith and strengthening the national conscience.’ ‘They paid special attention to the service of their neighbour by being present with the flock by experiencing together with them the Golgothas and the Tabors or by the consolation brought in the philanthropic settlements established by the Church and placed under its care.’ following the example of the Saviour and the apostles our hierarchs have combined prayer and almsgiving the spiritual word with erudition and culture personal zeal with sacrifice in the dioceses they pastored they gave their lives for the faith and for the flock.’ ‘After this selective remembrance of the hierarchs from the beginning of the Church until now I send the first thought of gratitude to His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel for the call to the ministry of assistant bishop at the Archdiocese of Iasi and for the 18 years of fruitful activity carried out together the strengthening of the stone church and of the one in the soul of each one as it requires a pertinent analysis of the facts beforehand!’ together with the clergy and the monastic order ‘I have in mind especially the young people whom I mention at every Divine Liturgy and in whose youth and enthusiasm I believe especially when I am in the service of God and the community of which I am a part.’ ‘I do not overlook their parents and grandparents in the spirit of goodness and good settlement of Bukovina the Christian life and lifestyle of their forerunners.’ ‘I embrace you all equally in Jesus Christ and beyond the fears you have had and probably still have I assure you that you will find in me a bishop with whom you can work effectively in the Lord’s vineyard fully respecting the Canons of the Holy Fathers the Church Laws and the Decisions of the Holy Synod!’ the archbishop entreated the local Saints John the New of Suceava Saint Paraskeva and the day’s saints to ‘encompass us in their protective intercession in front of the throne of the Most Holy Trinity.’ Photo credit: Basilica.ro / Mircea Florescu The Holy
