Dr. James Cangelosi, director of the Utah Mathematics Endorsement Project, a program to train Utah K-12 teachers in mathematics, was named the 2011 CASE and Carnegie Professor of the Year Thursday as the most outstanding university professor in Utah.
It is the 11th winner in 17 years for Utah State. The annual award honors the top undergraduate teacher in each of the 50 states.
