Dr. Vernise Steadman
[Bloomingdale Resident]
The University of the
District of Columbia mourns the loss of beloved and longtime faculty member,
former Mathematics Department chair, and University friend, Dr. Vernise
Steadman. Dr. Steadman, well recognized for her mathematics
expertise and dedication to Mathematics students across the District, initiated
her tenure with the University of the District of Columbia in
1973. With expertise that crossed a wide swath of mathematics
sub-disciplines – pure mathematics, functional analysis, and differential
equations, Dr. Steadman taught a variety of courses and directed a number of
mathematics related events on campus and across the city. She served as
chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of the
District of Columbia for eight years and was responsible for initiating and
shepherding the James Joseph Mathematics Scholarship. Dr. Steadman earned
three degrees from Howard University (BS 1972, MS 1975, and PhD 1988) and
maintained her ties with the Howard community via her scholarship, teaching,
and service activities. Dr. Steadman was a valued member of the
University of the District of Columbia Community and she will be sorely missed.
Funeral services for
Dr. Steadman will be held Friday, November 13, 2015 at Israel Baptist Church,
1251 Saratoga Avenue NE. Visitation is at 11:00 AM. Funeral
services begin at noon.
