Pablo E. Pichardo Medina Memorial Scholarship

Pablo E. Pichardo was a mathematics professor at SUNY Erie Community College from 1991-2019. His dedication to his students throughout his time at SUNY Erie was unparalleled. Pablo spent Saturdays on campus tutoring students — any student — who appeared at his door and brought a desire to learn. As a lifelong learner himself, Pablo supported students in their pursuit of an education through his selfless generosity. It is the hope of Pablo’s family that education, which lifted him from a life of poverty, can benefit others in the same way. Pablo’s friendly, openhearted, and jovial personality will be missed by all who knew him.
