Alum’s Gift Gives New Name to Computer Science Office
Thanks to a generous gift by alumnus and Dean’s Advisory Board member, Steven G. Akers (MET’94), Metropolitan College’s Department of Computer Science Chair Office has a new name. Given through a naming opportunity at Metropolitan College, Akers wished to honor his mentor, Dr. Anatoly Temkin, Chair of the Department, by memorializing the late Dr. Izabella Temkina, mother of Dr. Anatoly Temkin.
The philanthropic contribution by Akers comes out of respect and deference for his mentor and former teacher, Dr. Temkin, whose mother was his inspiration. A plaque dedicating the 1010 Commonwealth Avenue room as the “Izabella Temkina Computer Science Chair’s Office” was installed last month. It will remain on display as an everlasting testament to the power of meaningful support.
