Teodoro (Teddy) Halpern joined the Ramapo faculty in 1974. He served the College as a professor of physics, director and dean of the School of Theoretical and Applied Science, dean of schools and vice president for Academic Affairs. His colorful, enthusiastic lectures made him a much-loved professor and inspiration to his colleagues.

When he retired in 2001, fellow faculty members, family and friends gathered to honor Dr. Halpern. Contributions from the event, called “Teddyfest!” created this scholarship fund named in Dr. Halpern’s honor. In 2010 Dr. Halpern permanently endowed the program through a planned gift. The Halpern award recognizes outstanding students in physics.
