The award is voted on by the CCH senior class.
Smith has been at Trine since 2021. He works closely with the university’s actuarial science program, including coordinating Trine’s partnership with the Modeling the Future Challenge.
He earned his Bachelor of Science in mathematics and statistics and Master of Science in mathematics from Purdue University.
“Professor Smith cares for his students. He is genuinely invested in our lives,” said Karis Dice, an actuarial science major from Hillsdale, Michigan. “While he pushes his students to become their best, he does not want his students to suffer under too heavy of a workload. He loves to celebrate our successes with us and is present when we may fail. I am grateful to have had a professor like Professor Smith.”
“We’re grateful for the Trine professors who work to ensure their students are performing well academically and enjoying a well-rounded college experience,” said Travis Wilhelm, lead campus minister and university chaplain. “The award is one way to recognize top individuals on the Trine campus.”
CCH seeks to help Trine University better the student community as a whole by creating a ministry that serves their spiritual needs.
Trine University has launched Dual Advantage, a new program that gives undergraduate students multiple pathways to earn both a bachelor’s degree and an advanced degree in less time than completing both degrees separately.
We celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day on Oct. 27, and if you’re confused about what the profession is, you’re not alone.
Trine University student organizations and the McKetta Department of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering recently offered activities for girls interested in science and engineering at the 2026 STEM Expo hosted by the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana (GSNI-M).
