Bhatnagar’s lengthy and inspirational commitment to both the university and its math students was recognized on Dec. 2 during the Faculty Length of Service Program. The annual event honors academic and administrative faculty members who reach decade-specific employment milestones. Prof Satish Bhatnagar is the longest serving faculty member at the University of Nevada – Las Vegas (UNLV). At the same ceremony, Sri Lankan Assistant Prof. Karu Hangawatte was recognized for his forty years of service to UNLV.

For his half-century of contributions to his students and the university community, Bhatnagar received a custom-engraved medallion, which he will wear with his academic regalia at future UNLV commencement ceremonies.

“Professor Bhatnagar’s five decades of service to UNLV is an exemplary accomplishment, and I’m impressed and inspired by his continuing commitment to his scholarship and to the success of his students,” said UNLV President Keith E. Whitfield. “I’ve had the pleasure of watching Satish serve as grand marshal and carry the university mace at commencement, and it’s gratifying to see him lead us into the Thomas & Mack Center with style and an incredible sense of pride.”
