Mathematics majors Jacob Garrett and Savannah Humphries (pictured with professor Jerome Goddard) recently earned one of only three Patterson Awards for Best Undergraduate Presentation at the 102nd annual meeting of the Southeastern Section of the Mathematical Society of America.

Their presentation, "Harvesting-mediated emigration can affect community structure in a competitive system," emerged from the students' research with Goddard, utilizing mathematical population modeling to help provide solutions for habitat fragmentation in ecosystems.

This particular project explored the role of indirect effects of population harvesting (think hunting or fishing) on a competitive system where one species is harvested and one is not. Their theoretical modeling suggests non-harvested species can be driven to extinction by disturbances to their community structure.

Recent AUM graduate Hamza Abusammour also contributed to the project. Their project was sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant award to Goddard, as well as AUM's Department of Mathematics and an AUM Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity grant.

The annual meeting, hosted by Coastal Carolina University, brings together students and faculty from universities in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee for research presentations, lectures, workshops and competitions.

A Vietnam veteran, Allen was the first African-American to enlist in the Alabama National Guard and advocated for the recruitment of black men and women during his 27 years of service. In 1972, Allen was hired as Selma’s first African-American firefighter. He became a lieutenant in 1977 and a captain in 1992. By 1995, Allen became the city’s first black fire chief. He retired in 2009 after serving the city for 37 years.

In 2016, he completed a book of memoirs, “Marching Through the Flame: The Children of Selma Marched and Did Not Burn,” that reflected on his role in Selma’s history.
