He completed a second B.S. in Mathematics at SUNY Cortland and obtained his Masters degree and Ph.D. from Syracuse University. Pfaff has gained national recognition for his work integrating sustainability and real-world information into his teaching of Calculus I and freshman statistics, keeping these introductory math courses applied and concrete for students.
