STEM Educator Institute Finds a Home on Hawk Hill: The Philadelphia Regional Institute for STEM Educators, or PRISE, has made its new home on Saint Joseph’s campus. This new institute, with members from multiple colleges and universities in the Philadelphia area, focuses on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teacher retention in high-need school districts. In this article, Tetyana Berezovski, Ph.D., professor of mathematics, explains the importance of having resources for STEM educators.

First Cohort Begins New STEM2 Program: Saint Joseph’s launched a new science, technology, engineering and mathematics program called STEM2 (pronounced STEM squared) that was created to provide access to education and a career path to leadership roles for students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented: lower-income, first-generation college students and students of color.

From Whiteboard to iPad: Teaching Math Virtually: When it came time for students to take Saint Joseph’s math classes in a virtual environment during the pandemic, Sam Smith, Ph.D., professor of mathematics, found innovative ways to use technology to mimic the techniques he employs to make math accessible in a traditional setting.
