Professor of Mathematics Dr. Dale L. McIntyre was honored as Grove City College’s Professor of the Year at Wednesday’s Recognition Convocation. The College’s chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) selected McIntyre, who has MCINTYRE taught mathematics for 37 years. ODK is a national leadership honorary recognizing collegiate scholarship, leadership and citizenship based on nominations from students. McIntyre originally joined the faculty of Grove City College in 1985 and left in 1988 to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematical sciences from Clemson University. He returned with his doctorate in 1991 and has been a staple of the Mathematics Department since. Over the years, McIntyre has taught more than 15 different courses and advised several student organizations, including Campus Crusade and Life Advocates. McIntyre is especially interested in the intersection of mathematics and Christian faith, which is reflected in his academic publications and articles on how faith influenced scientific and mathematical pioneers like Leonhard Euler and Johannes Kepler. One of the students who nominated him said it is “impossible to not hear about the beauty of the Lord on display in this equation or that proof” in a McIntyre class. “What I hope to accomplish in my teaching: To encourage students in their mathematics and in other areas of their lives and to enable them to see mathematics as an illustration of God’s common grace,” McIntyre said.
