There are so many folks in my constellation that I am so grateful for! But Benji, my mentor of life is someone who introduced me into the realm of academic research, critical pedagogy, intersectional feminism, and all the good stuffs! I am immensely grateful for everything he has done for me so that I can be here. He is not with us anymore, but I witness that his legacies are continued in power.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It is with profound sadness that we share with you the news that Benji Chang passed away in his sleep this past Tuesday night. Benji joined the School of Education faculty in 2019 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Teacher Education and Higher Education (TEHE), and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2021. Prior to joining UNCG, Benji was on faculty at the Education University of Hong Kong.

Benji was a rigorous and deeply thoughtful scholar who took an interdisciplinary approach drawing from cultural studies, critical education, and sociocultural learning theory, to investigate issues of pedagogy, teacher education, community engagement, and sustainability towards social justice with minoritized and diasporic communities. A scholar who walked his talk, Benji spent many years as a community organizer working with youth of color in impoverished neighborhoods, steeping himself in context and steadfastly building authentic relationships with youth and community stakeholders. Benji grounded his scholarship in a deep and embodied commitment to the communities with whom he worked.

Benji had multiple collaborators globally and his contributions to scholarship were diverse. In North America, he contributed to the development of interdisciplinary approaches in educational research, especially through the use of Ethnic Studies and Cultural Studies. He also contributed to scholarship on the use of community organizing approaches to teaching, school change, and social movements regarding educational equity, immigrant rights, and social justice for minoritized communities.

For his contributions in research, teaching, and service, Benji received distinctions from bodies such as the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). At UNCG, he was nominated for the Outstanding teaching award in his first year. Benji was a sponsoring faculty member who founded, with colleagues and students, the School of Education's Students of Color Collective. He was an inspiring instructor and mentor beloved by his students.

In addition to being an outstanding scholar and teacher, Benji was skilled in martial arts and an accomplished hip-hop artist who had deejayed for the famous Black and Brown Party at the annual American Educational Research Association conferences. He was a true friend one could count on, a devoted son, a loving spouse, a doting father, and a wonderful brother and uncle. For a scholar and teacher who had made disrupting injustices in education his life's work, Benji had a great sense of humor and could laugh at himself with ease. He is sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, students, colleagues, and community.

ComPsych, the University's Employee Assistance Provider (800.630.4847), can provide support to members of the campus community affected by Benji's death. The UNCG Counseling Center (336.334.5874) and the Dean of Students Office (336.334.5514) can provide support to students. The UNCG Counseling Center (336.334.5874) can provide support to students and other members of the campus community. The Dean of Students Office (336.334.5514) may also be a support resource for students and can be reached during business hours (Monday-Friday).

Rackham Graduate School: University of Michigan

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Rackham Graduate Student Emergency Fund is intended to help meet the financial needs of Rackham graduate students who encounter an emergency situation or one-time, unusual, or unforeseen expenses during their degree program. Examples include:

Medical, dental, or mental health emergencies for the student or, in some circumstances, for immediate family members who live with the student

Major accidents and events such as fire and natural disasters

Expenses related to the death of an immediate family member

Normal living expenses such as rent, car repairs, child care, utilities, taxes, insurance, pet-related expenses, and computer/laptop replacement are generally not covered by this fund.

An " immediate family member " is defined as a student's spouse or other qualified adult (who shares a primary residence with you and has done so for the previous six continuous months, other than as your employee or tenant) or the son, daughter, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister (or the spouse of any of them), of either the student, the student's spouse, the other qualified adult, or any other related person living in the student's household. We acknowledge that students have family relationships that extend beyond their household. As our focus is on assisting the greatest number of Rackham graduate students-with limited funds at our disposal-requests must adhere to this guideline.

Students who are experiencing financial difficulties that exceed the scope of this fund are encouraged to contact Darlene Ray-Johnson by email, or by phone at 734.647.9781.

Eligibility

Students must be enrolled in a Rackham degree program. Rackham doctoral students are limited to two (2) Emergency Fund awards and master's students are limited to one (1) Emergency Fund award during their graduate career. Ph.D. students on an approved leave of absence are eligible if they were in good academic standing at the beginning of the period of leave, have an approved plan for return to active study at the conclusion of the leave, and experience an emergency situation or unforeseen expense that would interfere with their ability to return to active study as planned.

Students who are experiencing financial difficulties that exceed the scope of this fund may request a meeting with Rackham staff to further explore the difficulties they are experiencing. Staff will be in touch with students to help address needs, concerns, and to assist with campus referrals, as appropriate.

Deadline

Applications from students are reviewed on a rolling basis once the application is complete.

Award Description

Awards may be up to $2,500 each.

For students who qualify for need-based financial aid (including the child care subsidy), receipt of this Rackham award may reduce the original loan amount or subsidy. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid prior to submitting your application for help evaluating your individual circumstance and possible impact to your financial aid.

Application Process

Students should apply online. Before applying for emergency funds, students are encouraged to speak to their faculty advisors and the graduate chairs of their programs. These individuals may be able to help identify sources of financial assistance and/or provide useful advice. The online application includes the following:

Brief statement describing the emergency situation or one-time, unusual, or unforeseen expense and the total dollar amount of emergency funds being requested. (1,500 words)

Budget detailing the amount of emergency funding requested, a list of current expenses and an itemized list of how the funds will be used, and your financial situation including sources of income and other available funding. (1,500 words)

About the Award
The Jones Payne Coxford Award in Mathematics Education is named in honor of Philip S. Jones, Joseph N. Payne, and Arthur F. Coxford, three outstanding professors in mathematics education at the University of Michigan School of Education.

Professor Philip S. Jones received his bachelor of arts and his teacher certification in 1933, his master of arts in 1935, and his PhD in 1948, all from the University of Michigan. He was appointed as an instructor to the University of Michigan Department of Mathematics in 1947 and promoted subsequently to assistant professor in 1948, to associate professor in 1953, and to professor in 1958. Professor Jones was known nationally and internationally as an authority on the history of mathematics and mathematics education and made major contributions to both fields. He retired from the University of Michigan in 1982 after 35 years of service. Professor Jones died in 2002.

Professor Joseph N. Payne came to the University of Michigan in 1957 as assistant professor in the School of Education and teacher of mathematics at the University School. He was promoted to associate professor in 1961 and professor in 1964. Professor Payne taught courses in elementary and middle school mathematics education and conducted research in mathematics instruction. He worked extensively with undergraduates and graduate students, and received consistently excellent student evaluations. Professor Payne retired from the University of Michigan in 1994 after 37 years of service.

Professor Arthur F. Coxford Jr. received his master of arts in 1960 and his PhD in 1965 from the University of Michigan. He taught mathematics at University High School from 1962 until it closed in 1969. Professor Coxford joined the faculty of the School of Education in 1965 and was promoted to professor of mathematics education in 1973. He was a devoted and much-beloved teacher and mentor and was very active in preparing teachers of mathematics. He was a strong supporter of undergraduate teacher education and served as director of the teacher education program at the School of Education. Professor Coxford died in 2000.
Eligibility and Application Process
The award is open to fourth year doctoral students in mathematics education who have achieved candidacy. It recognizes excellent scholarly achievement, based primarily on the student's scholarly paper (Preliminary Exam A). The award covers one semester (Fall 2021 or Winter 2022) of candidacy tuition, tuition fees, and health benefits during the student's fifth year in the program.

The recipient of the Jones Payne Coxford Award (JPC) has been selected for the academic year fall 2021 and winter 2022. Students will be sent an invitation to apply for fall 2022 JPC support by the program. To apply, eligible students will be invited to apply via an email from Educational Studies.
