Years later, he returned Humane Letters, honoris causa. to Harvard to work on his PhD. In 1982, Moses refocused his efforts after the MacArthur Foundation awarded him one of its prestigious five-year “genius grants.” By then, he had become convinced that economic access and equality depended crucially on math literacy—and that the same community-organizing tactics that strengthened his efforts in the civil rights movement could be applied to improving math skills. He used funds from his MacArthur fellowship to start the Algebra Project, a nonprofit devoted to bringing an innovative approach to teaching math to poor minority children. Students with the lowest scores on standardized math tests would take classes through the Algebra Project with the goal of learning college-level math by the end of high school. Using teaching methods developed by Moses, instructors pushed students to think deeply about math instead of learning the skills by rote memory. Today, the Algebra Project has a presence in hundreds of schools across the country.

The institute encourages community service opportunities for Niagara students and faculty and is a central resource for anyone in the Niagara Falls or Buffalo communities who wishes to partner with the university. A native of North Tarrytown (now known as Sleepy Hollow), New York, Father Levesque was ordained a Vincentian priest in 1967. He taught at a preparatory school in Brooklyn and at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey, before his first assignment at Niagara. After receiving his doctorate in sacred theology from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., Father Levesque served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Niagara from 1978 to 1986. That year, he returned to St. Joseph’s Seminary to lead the school as its president. Several years later, he was elected provincial superior of the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission, his religious order. After serving his nine-year term as provincial superior, he became president of Niagara.
