But after working as a PLF, she realized her true passion- mathematics. Sara began her undergraduate career as an architecture major. Even further, Sara has contributed to the STEM field by becoming a student of the discipline herself. She has supported the grant’s mission of helping underrepresented students succeed in lower level STEM courses through service in MATH 116 (Trig/Pre-calculus), MATH 121 (College Algebra), and MATH 180 (Elements of Calculus). STEM Gateway is fortunate to have had Sara with us for five semesters now. After she spoke with her Math 180 PLFs about the opportunity, the rest is history! Sara excelled in the subject and was urged by her instructor at the end of the semester to apply for a position. In this class, she was able to experience directly the support that PLFs provide. Sara’s first interaction with STEM Gateway was in the fall of 2012 when she enrolled in a PLF-served Math 180 (Elements of Calculus) course. In the month of March, we are featuring Sara Spear. In this blog post, STEM Gateway presents our very first PLF Spotlight!Įach month, our Peer Learning Facilitator program will highlight the story of one of our current PLFs to demonstrate the profound affect the grant has had on students at the University of New Mexico.
