UHCL HAWKS CHANGING LIVES BY THE DEGREE
Laying the Foundation for Success in College-level Mathematics
GALVESTON, October 27, 2015- Carolyn Harnsberry, Clint Jones, and Rodrigo Santoyo are bound by two commonalities. Each is a UHCL Hawk who earned a degree in mathematics from the University of Houston Clear Lake, and each is driven by a passion and a purpose that support the success of Galveston College’s Developmental Mathematics Program and its students.
Leadership expert John Maxwell said it best, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” The team, which also includes several adjunct instructors, meets regularly throughout each fall and spring semester to review data and to discuss student success and retention strategies which will help lay the strong foundation that is needed for students to successfully complete their coursework in both developmental and college-level mathematics. The full-time developmental mathematics instructors, Jones and Santoyo, work with the Coordinator of the Developmental Mathematics Program, Carolyn Harnsberry, to develop course outlines and to create student-centered workshops and activities that will help provide the necessary support and structure for students who are part of the program. To become a long-term member of this hardworking team, it is important that an instructor, regardless of whether full-time or part-time, be unselfishly and wholeheartedly committed to helping students achieve their overall academic and career goals.
So what’s next for each of these instructors? Carolyn Harnsberry, who earned a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and a Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction, both from UHCL, is completing coursework for her doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a STEM Emphasis. Clint Jones earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Lamar University and just recently graduated in December 2014 with a Master of Science in Mathematics from UHCL. Rodrigo Santoyo earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from UHCL and is currently enrolled in graduate level mathematics courses at UHCL.
