I served on several department level committees and two university level committees.
I served on a committee that established mathematical literacy standards for the Quantitative Reasoning courses in the Ideas in Action curriculum. I also co-chaired a committee that established standards in Quantitative Reasoning courses.
Candidate Statement
I am passionate about helping students to master the basics of mathematical and quantitative literacy. I have been actively involved in this effort for more than 10 years, both through course development and through committee work.
I also believe that a challenge we face is grade inflation. I believe that for the long term success of our students this concern would need to be addressed.
