The people who shape us are the people we remember. Their inspiration reaches us in elementary school classrooms, after-school math clubs and undergraduate advising offices. They open doors to the world we didn’t know existed, and they inspire us to walk through those doors as leaders. Visit https://scimath.unl.edu/giving to read about Gertrud Creaghan, the teacher who inspired CSMCE Director Jim Lewis and challenged him to excel in mathematics. You can help us celebrate more inspiring teachers on this webpage by telling us about the teachers who inspired you!
Send your stories of inspiring teachers to laugustyn2@unl.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!
