Lawrence Selected as Engineering Degree Coordinator

 

Shilo Lawrence grew up in central New York where she also attended a community college. Even at an early age, she recalls having an interest in math, and trying to solve her older sister's math homework problems. Lawrence began teaching math at Nash Community College in 2004.

 

"I had an amazing math teacher in high school. She was very passionate and helped me cultivate my love for math," she said. From high school, Shilo went on to Texas Tech University. However, the expense of travelling back home to New York made being at the university costly, inconvenient and unrealistic.

 

Lawrence returned home to attend Tompkins Cortland Community College in Dryden, New York. She was engaged by her instructors there, and her interest in math grew. "I knew I wanted to teach math. And when I attended the community college I realized that was exactly the environment where I wanted to apply my skills," she said. "I believe the small class size, and one-on-one instruction, make a difference in teaching and learning."
