Fostering a civil environment is not easy but it should be the responsibility of everyone on campus. Students typically do not care how much administrators or professors know, or how many degrees they possess until they first know how much they care about them. Brazilian adult educator and philosopher Paulo …

Faculty Presentations

Mathematics embraces creativity and beauty yet often our children are immersed in classroom activities where these attributes are hidden by an overemphasis on algorithms, computational speed and known answers that can be found in the back of the book or with a quick Google search.
