Though I have only scheduled 15 credits this semester, I have kept very busy holding jobs as a Resident Assistant, a Peer Educator for the Health and Wellness Center, and a Math Tutor in my Residence Hall as well as acting in two student productions this semester. My current math studies are focusing on both numerical and real analysis. Both of these classes offer an in-depth look at how different areas of mathematics were founded and have proven to be both challenging and interesting. I am most excited about a research opportunity that I have this semester. I am helping with the mathematical interpretation of five hundred years’ worth of international multilateral treaties. The possibilities of the research are very wide ranging and, with the help of my professors and peers, we are finding new ways of explaining the relationships for different types of treaties. I will also soon be finding a school to attend to finish my certification program for teaching. Overall, this is a very exciting time in my school career and represents a huge opportunity for me. Patrick was recommended by Director Joe Fabri. Andrea Rudomanski, member of Branch 52 and recipient of the Student Aid, was introduced in the Winter Issue of Fraternity.
